    Author: Terao M, Kubota M, Tamakawa S, Kawada K, Ogawa H.
    Journal: Masui; 1995 Dec; 44(12):1700-2. PubMed ID: 8583671.
    Abstract:
    We presented a case of intracranial vascular malformations associated with pregnancy. A 32 year-old woman who was at 36 weeks of gestation had been experiencing loss of consciousness and convulsions for 3 years. MRI revealed an intracerebral AVM measuring 3.5 x 3.0cm in the left temporal lobe. Cesarean section was carried out under general anesthesia and epidural anesthesia to prevent the rise of blood pressure and intracranial pressure owing to stress of delivery and labor pain. Intermittent injection of nicardipine was quite effective to control the hypertension during anesthesia.
