Legal and Ethical Challenges in the Care of the Pregnant Patient After Brain Death
Using two scenarios based on real-life cases reported in the media, this article examines the ethical and legal controversies that arise when a pregnant woman dies based on neurologic criteria while her fetus remains alive. In the first scenario, all parties agreed to maintain physiologic support until a safe delivery could be achieved, whereas in the second scenario the woman’s family sought a legal remedy to stop the hospital from continuing to provide physiologic support for the patient and her neurologically devastated fetus.

Neurologic Complications of Obstetric Anesthesia
This article provides a review of neurologic diseases that may affect the decision-making process for anesthesia during delivery. It discusses the neurologic complications that can occur because of obstetric anesthesia and how to recognize them and describes obstetric nerve injuries and how to distinguish these relatively benign injuries from more serious complications.

Neuro-ophthalmology and Pregnancy
This article summarizes the impact of pregnancy on neuro-ophthalmic pathways and presents an approach to the evaluation of pregnant women who have neuro-ophthalmic symptoms or signs.
RECENT FINDINGS
Advances in noninvasive ophthalmic imaging have increased knowledge of the impact of pregnancy on ocular blood flow, which may have relevance for understanding the impact of preeclampsia and eclampsia on the eye.
SUMMARY
The framework for approaching neuro-ophthalmic symptoms and signs in pregnant women is similar to the general approach for people who are not pregnant. Visual symptoms are common in preeclampsia a...

Managing Central Nervous System Tumors During Pregnancy
This article discusses current recommendations and special considerations for the management of central nervous system (CNS) tumors in pregnant women and provides case vignettes to emphasize important clinical concepts.
RECENT FINDINGS
Given that nearly 60% of all intracranial and spinal cord tumors, including both primary and metastatic tumor types, malignant or benign, are diagnosed in women, it is equitable to bring attention to the unique management considerations that pertain to women during specific phases of their lifespan, such as pregnancy. The pregnancy phase is marked by changes in hormonal, immunologic, ...

Maternal Stroke Associated With Pregnancy
This article summarizes current knowledge of the epidemiology, pathophysiology, prevention, and treatment of cerebrovascular disease in pregnant and postpartum women.
RECENT FINDINGS
Stroke is a leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality, and most fatal strokes are preventable. Adaptive physiologic changes of pregnancy, including hemodynamic changes, venous stasis, hypercoagulability, and immunomodulation, contribute to increased maternal stroke risk. The highest-risk time period for maternal stroke is the immediate postpartum period. Migraine and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, including gestational hyp...

Headache in Pregnancy and Lactation
This article discusses the many tools available for the treatment of pregnant and postpartum patients with headache. Adequate treatment of headache is an essential part of good prenatal and postnatal care.
RECENT FINDINGS
New therapies such as the calcitonin gene-related peptide monoclonal antibodies, lasmiditan, direct calcitonin gene-related peptide antagonists, and neuromodulation devices are available for the treatment of headache. This article contextualizes these new therapies in practice as they relate to the treatment of migraine in pregnancy and lactation.
SUMMARY
Headache is common in pregnancy, and...

Neuromuscular Disorders and Pregnancy
This article provides an overview of neuromuscular disorders in pregnancy, with a focus on diagnosis and management.
RECENT FINDINGS
Neuromuscular disorders with issues that occur in pregnancy include conditions that are acquired (including autoimmune) or genetic; each requires a unique approach to management and treatment prepartum, peripartum, and postpartum. Guidance in the literature regarding management and treatment options is predominantly from case series and retrospective reviews. Treatment can be complex, particularly in autoimmune neuromuscular diseases, because of the risks of side effects of the treatme...

Epilepsy and Pregnancy
This article provides up-to-date information to guide practitioners in the management of epilepsy in pregnancy.
RECENT FINDINGS
Ongoing multicenter pregnancy registries and studies continue to provide important information on issues related to pregnancy in women with epilepsy. Valproate poses a special risk for malformations and cognitive/behavioral impairments. A few antiseizure medications pose low risks (eg, lamotrigine, levetiracetam), but the risks for many antiseizure medications remain uncertain. Although pregnancy rates differ, a prospective study found no difference in fertility rates between women with epi...

Pregnancy Management in Multiple Sclerosis and Other Demyelinating Diseases
This article reviews the current state of knowledge on peripartum management in these neurologic conditions and offers practical considerations and case studies. When caring for women with MS and NMOSD of childbearing potential, treatment planning is important to optimize outcomes in both patient and newborn.
