  • Title: Meningioma during pregnancy: a case report.
    Author: Cardenas-Goicoechea SJ, Debbs RH.
    Journal: J Reprod Med; 2011; 56(1-2):81-4. PubMed ID: 21366134.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: The diagnosis and management of meningioma during pregnancy is challenging, and a multidisciplinary approach is warranted. We present a case of meningioma during pregnancy with one year of follow-up. CASE: A 37-year-old, Caucasian female who presented at 28 weeks' gestation with meningioma was managed conservatively until 31.4 weeks' gestation. Worsening symptoms prompted cesarean delivery. Nine days after childbirth a craniotomy was performed due to worsening of her symptoms. Subsequent treatment included proton therapy with dramatic results. CONCLUSION: The diagnosis of meningioma during pregnancy represents a challenge, with growth and regression both reported.
