Abstract:
Fetal intracranial hemorrhage is quite rare. Antenatal fetal intracranial hemorrhage may occur spontaneously, or in association with various maternal or fetal conditions. Currently, antenatal fetal intracranial hemorrhage may be diagnosed by imaging techniques including ultrasonography and less frequently, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We report a case of spontaneous fetal intracranial hemorrhage that was diagnosed antenatally in the third trimester with a brief review of literatures.
