Acute neurological syndromes are occasionally reported during pregnancy and in the postpartum period. They include preeclampsia, eclampsia, haemorrhagic or ischaemic stroke, cerebral sinus venus thrombosis, posterior reversible leuko encephalopathy syndrome and other neuropathies many of them are relatively benign and can be diagnosed in very early stage and they result in no neurological deficits .We report a case of 23 year old primi gravida who developed spontaneous acute bilateral subdural  haematoma (SDH)  on the 4^th postoperative day which resolved spontaneously later.
