Perinatal outcomes of pregnancies complicated by prenatally resolved fetal growth restriction.

American journal of obstetrics and gynecology·2023

Cerebral abscess is a rare pregnancy complication. Neurologic deterioration in pregnant patients with sinusitis may indicate secondary intracranial issues.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Obstetrics & Gynecology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Cerebral abscess is a rare but serious complication during pregnancy.
  • Sinusitis can lead to intracranial complications, even in pregnant individuals.

Observation:

  • A 36-week gestation patient presented with severe headache, confusion, and seizures.
  • Symptoms began after initiating treatment for sinusitis.

Findings:

  • Imaging confirmed a left temporal lobe abscess.
  • The abscess was successfully treated with broad-spectrum antibiotics.

Implications:

  • Neurologic deterioration in pregnant patients with sinusitis warrants investigation for sinogenic intracranial suppurative complications.
