Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) is a rare group of malignancy that has varied clinical presentations.
Hence, diagnosis is difficult, but if diagnosed on time, it has an excellent prognosis. Case summary: Here we present the
case of a 24-year-old female who presented with recurrent intracranial hemorrhages. She was earlier misdiagnosed as
tubercular cerebral vasculitic hemorrhage, but in her subsequent presentation after a thorough history, examination and
investigation, she was diagnosed as GTN-choriocarcinoma. Conclusion: Subarachnoid hemorrhage is a rare complication
of choriocarcinoma and any female in the reproductive age group with a prior history of abortion and who presents with
bleeding manifestations of any organ system, should be suspected for choriocarcinoma
