Case Report A 41-year-old female patient presented to our clinic with the complaint of headache lasting for four days. It was determined that the patient underwent a cesarean section 10 days earlier and had received preoperative IVF treatment. Her general condition was moderate. She was cooperative and oriented but apathetic and drowsy. There was 4/5 paralysis in the right lower extremity and right arm. Her blood pressure was 197/115 mmHg. In the brain CT, there was an approximately 6x1.5 cm parenchymal hematoma and subarachnoid hemorrhage in the deep white matter in the left frontal region. The patient was followed up in the intensive care unit for five days, and then admitted to the ward following the improvement in her general condition and apathic findings. Conclusion Although there are no risk factors for intracerebral hemorrhage that occurs after IVF, it can present with neurological sequelae during recovery. There is a need for detailed studies and meta-analyses that will guide both the treatment approach to these patients and preventive measures.
