Cavernous malformation is an important cause of
cerebral hemorrhage in
pregnant women. We experienced a case of
cesarean section followed by
neurosurgery for resection of ruptured cavernous malformation of
pons in a 24-year-old
pregnant woman. Establishing integrated
treatment strategy for
pregnant women with cavernous malformation is difficult because of the small number of cases. Therefore, the cooperation between the
brain surgeon,
anesthesiologist and
obstetrician is essential when surgical intervention is needed. Despite
aspiration pneumonia, the
patient successfully underwent
surgery. We reported this case along with a brief
literature review.
