We report a case of a 30-year-old primigravida with massive intracranial hemorrhage, managed surgically with multidisciplinary care, leading to successful continuation of pregnancy. We contextualize clinical decision-making with evidence on diagnostic imaging safety, hemodynamic control, and neurosurgical considerations, and highlight implications for fetal monitoring and maternal outcome.
