Unique presentation of giant multiple meningiomas during immediate postpartum, case report and review of literature

Abstract

We report a case with presentation and diagnosis of multiple intracranial giant meningiomas after epidural anesthesia on vaginal delivery. It's a 20 years old woman, multiparous of 2, that after placing the epidural catheter during vaginal delivery began with severe and persistent headache, confusion, drowsiness and right hemiparesis. After vaginal delivery, studies showed a giant right olfactory groove meningioma and giant left lesser sphenoid wing meningioma. A two-stage surgery was performed. A gross total resection of both tumors and complete recovery of her symptoms was achieved after surgery.
