Cerebral AV malformation in pregnancy is a rare condition with a prevalence rate of approximately 0.01-0.5%. It generally presents symptoms at 20-40 years of age most commonly at around 30 years of age. It affects both men and women but more prevalent in women at this age group. We presented a case of primi gravida at 22 weeks of gestation with DCDA type of twin presenting in emergency department with intracranial hemorrhage secondary to rupture of AV malformation.
