Management strategies for neoplastic and vascular brain lesions presenting during pregnancy: A series of 29 patients.

CONCLUSIONS: We can assert that the association between a brain tumor and vascular lesions with pregnancy is a very unusual event, which jeopardizes both the lives of the mother and infant. It remains incompletely characterized due to the rare nature of these potentially devastating events. Knowing the exact mechanism responsible for the interaction of pregnancy and with these lesions will improve the treatment of these patients. PMID: 28303207 [PubMed - in process]
