Prenatal sonographic diagnosis and postnatal outcomes of fetal intracranial hemorrhage: Two case report.

ABSTRACT: Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) in pregnancy, estimated at 1 in 10,000 cases, presents significant diagnostic challenges prenatally despite advanced imaging techniques such as ultrasonography (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
