Case Description: A 34-year-old female developed chronic encapsulated expanding hematoma during late pregnancy, after angiographic disappearance of cerebellar AVM following two courses of gamma knife radiosurgery. The present case implicates pregnancy as a potential promoter of growth and enlargement of chronic encapsulated expanding hematoma, which may become life-threatening and require surgical intervention. Conclusion: Immediate surgical management after delivery may be associated with a favorable outcome, so close follow-up management and patient education are very important in women planning pregnancy.","thumbnailUrl":"https://sni-digital-videos.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/68ed1e64-fa03-4c4a-8ccd-462e9eb00b54/featured/hero-1782420939683.png","publishDate":"2014-12-30T00:00:00.000Z","doi":"10.4103/2152-7806.148054","categories":["Original Article"],"fullTextUrl":"http://sni.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/5902/SNI-5-575.pdf"}
