Overview
- Accepting the Hollywood Icon Award at the Women’s Guild Cedars-Sinai Snow Ball, Gadot recounted a February 2024 health emergency late in her pregnancy.
- She said severe headaches led to an MRI at her mother’s urging, after which doctors immediately alerted her to a massive brain clot.
- The diagnosis was cerebral venous thrombosis, a rare but potentially life-threatening clot in the brain’s venous system.
- Within roughly three hours of the diagnosis, doctors delivered her daughter, Ori, to safeguard both mother and baby.
- She said a procedure performed the next morning saved her life, and she later reflected on her recovery in a December Instagram post.
