“…Spinal anesthesia is the most commonly used method to achieve anesthesia in obstetrics patient due to advantage of avoidance of complications of general anesthesia and more direct experience of childbirth. 2 But there are complications in spinal anesthesia such as hypotension, post-dural puncture headache, nerve damage, meningitis, intracerebral hemorrhage, spinal, and cranial hematoma. Postdural puncture headache is a common cause of headache after spinal anesthesia.…”

Intracranial hemorrhage is rare potentially devastating complication of spinal anesthesia. There are very few articles reporting subarachnoid hemorrhage after spinal anesthesia though there are no verified relationship between the two. We report a parturient who had a cesarean section under spinal anesthesia and developed severe headache with fall in Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and motor deficit three hours after the operation. She had Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) done which shows subarachnoid hemorrhage with intraventricular extension. She got discharge seven days later with recovery of full GCS and recovering motor deficit with full recovery after six weeks. Subarachnoid hemorrhage should be considered when assessing obstretic patients with atypical headache with any other neurological abnormal findings.

Introduction: Postpartum chronic subdural hematoma (PCSDH) of non-traumatic origin is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication in the obstetric population which usually presents with severe headache. Case Report: We describe timely diagnosis and surgical management of a 27-year-old female patient with bilateral chronic subdural hematoma of non-traumatic origin in the post-postpartum period for which surgical management was employed following irresponsive conservative management. Conclusion: The suspicion of chronic subdural hematoma should be considered in any patient complaining of severe persistent headache following spinal anesthesia in the postpartum period and requires prompt neuroimaging for timely identification. Surgical management following irresponsive conservative management in selected patients can be achieved with satisfactory outcomes.

“…However, anesthesia and caesarean section may cause some certain complications such as intracranial bleeding that can be potentially lethal. Few cases of intracranial subdural hematoma following the administration of epidural anesthesia have been reported in the literature [1][2][3][4][5]. Very few cases of pituitary apoplexy have been reported in postpartum patients [6][7][8][9][10].…”

Pituitary apoplexy can occur postpartum, and subdural hematoma following epidural anesthesia is a rare complication. Cooccurrence of these two complications is extremely rare and has not been previously reported in the literature. In this article, we present a case of pituitary apoplexy along with intracranial subdural hematoma happening two days after spinal anesthesia for cesarean section. The patient presented with peripheral facial nerve paralysis accompanied by headache, eye pain, and blurred vision and was diagnosed by imaging modalities. The patient made a good recovery with conservative treatment without serious health events.
