Case report.

Malignant brain tumors are fortunately a rare disease. There is no difference in incidence between pregnant and non-pregnant women, but faster development of symptoms and progression of disease is suspected. There is a problem of small number of patients in these studies. In our opinion most important is early and effective multidisciplinary management according to condition of patient and age of pregnancy.
