“…Mannitol administration is not recommended except in cases of life-threatening brain oedema, since it significantly decreases the utero-placental blood flow [39]. Although some reports claim that accurately calculated whole brain radiotherapy with special emphasis on protecting the abdominal region is a low-risk and effective local therapy during pregnancy [22], focal irradiation of the tumour is currently the preferred option in rapidly growing and malignant meningiomas [40]. Stereotactic radiosurgery (gamma knife) treatment is also often possible, depending on tumour size and localization [41].…”

“…For pregnant women with brain tumors, seizure control is important. It is thought that 27-41% of pregnant women with brain tumors develop seizures during pregnancy [1,3]. Zwinkels et al [4] report that three of 103 women who were diagnosed with gliomas before or after becoming pregnant developed status epilepticus during pregnancy.…”

“…Although the concurrence of brain tumors with pregnancy is rare, their comorbidity is frequently complicated by epileptic seizures, which sometimes develop into status epilepticus [1]. Status epilepticus is an uncommon complication of pregnancy, but when it does occur, it presents as high maternal and fetal mortality rate [2].…”

“…Среди основных причин авторами указывается задержка жидкости в организме на фоне прогрессирования беременности, а первые клинические признаки опухолевого процесса связаны с интенсивными обменными и нейроэндокринными изменениями в организме. Кроме того, функционирование плаценты как мощного гормонального органа может стимулировать рост опухоли [1,4].…”

“…Наряду с высокой частотой акушерских и перинатальных осложнений родоразрешения, проведение анестезиологического пособия и ранний послеродовой период у таких пациенток сопряжены с нарастанием неврологической симптоматики, изменениями внутричерепного давления и высоким риском развития дислокационного синдрома (смещение одних структур мозга относительно других), требующего экстренного нейрохирургического вмешательства, результатом чего является увеличение материнской летальности [1,5,6].…”
