    Summary

    Pseudotumor cerebri (PTC) in pregnant women requires careful management. Treatment is similar to non-pregnant patients, but calorie restriction and diuretics are contraindicated during pregnancy.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Obstetrics & Gynecology

    Background:

    • Pseudotumor cerebri (PTC) predominantly affects obese women of reproductive age.
    • Understanding PTC's impact during pregnancy is crucial for maternal and fetal health.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the characteristics and outcomes of Pseudotumor cerebri (PTC) in pregnant women.
    • To compare obstetric complications and visual outcomes between pregnant PTC patients and controls.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective study of 109 women (ages 16-44) diagnosed with PTC.
    • Matching PTC patients with controls by age and parity.
    • Analysis of obstetric complications and visual loss frequency.

    Main Results:

    • PTC onset during pregnancy occurred in 11 women; 13 women with prior PTC diagnoses had 17 pregnancies.
    • Obstetric complications were more frequent in control groups compared to PTC patients.
    • Visual loss occurred with similar frequency in both pregnant and non-pregnant PTC patients.

    Conclusions:

    • PTC treatment during pregnancy should mirror non-pregnant management, excluding calorie restriction and diuretics.
    • Obstetric management for pregnant PTC patients does not differ from normal pregnancy management.
    • The study highlights the safety of standard obstetric care for women with PTC.
