Surgical management of tuberculum sellae meningioma in a pregnant lady: Case report

ABSTRACT

Meningioma has an accelerated growth during pregnancy; this may become symptomatic, which may necessitate surgical treatment. We describe a 33 year old female pregnant patient who presented with deterioration in vision of the left eye during her 28[th] week of gestation, treated surgically with uneventful recovery. Vision should be saved anytime during pregnancy, especially in the second trimester when the surgery is relatively safe for both the mother and the fetus
