Actress Gal Gadot revealed she underwent emergency surgery for a massive blood clot in her brain during the eighth month of her pregnancy with her fourth daughter, Ori, at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. Gadot experienced weeks of excruciating headaches that confined her to bed before an MRI confirmed the diagnosis. The surgery was performed, and Ori was born during this critical period. Gadot expressed gratitude towards the medical team for her recovery and shared her story to raise awareness about the importance of listening to one's body and the rarity of cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) in pregnant women, which affects 3 in 100,000 in the 30s+ age group.
