Stroke is a major contributor to morbidity and mortality during pregnancy and puerperium. Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), which is bleeding within the cerebral parenchyma as a result of rupture of a blood vessel, is the second most common type of stroke after ischemic stroke.

She recovered completely without any neurological deficit.
