ABSTRACT
Although rare, subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is the most common non-obstetric cause of maternal death (1). Some estimate that approximately one-quarter of these hemorrhages are due to ruptureof anarteriovenousmalformation (AVM) (2). Thepresenceof anAVM,whether ruptured or not, significantly complicates the management of pregnancy. In this chapter, the epidemiology, physiologic considerations, and management of AVMs in pregnancy are reviewed.
