Gal Gadot Reveals Emergency Brain Surgery During Pregnancy

The actress shared her life-threatening experience with a blood clot in her brain, which led to her daughter's birth during the procedure.

Gal Gadot was diagnosed with a massive blood clot in her brain during the eighth month of her pregnancy in February 2024 after enduring weeks of severe headaches.
She underwent emergency surgery at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, during which her daughter Ori was delivered safely.
Ori's name, meaning 'my light' in Hebrew, reflects Gadot's hope and resilience during the ordeal.
Gadot, now fully recovered, expressed gratitude to her medical team and highlighted the importance of listening to one's body and recognizing early symptoms of health issues.
She shared her story to raise awareness about cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT), a rare but treatable condition that affects 3 in 100,000 pregnant women in their 30s.
