Pseudotumor cerebri (PTC) in pregnancy is rare. This study found that PTC during pregnancy does not adversely affect maternal or infant outcomes, with both patients delivering normally.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Obstetrics
  • Ophthalmology

Background:

  • Pseudotumor cerebri (PTC) is a condition of increased intracranial pressure without a clear cause.
  • Pregnancy-associated PTC is infrequently documented.

Observation:

  • Two cases of PTC during pregnancy were observed.
  • One case utilized optic nerve ultrasound for management.

Findings:

  • Neither patient experienced PTC-related complications during pregnancy.
  • Both patients achieved successful vaginal deliveries.
  • Both patients had uncomplicated postpartum recoveries.

Implications:

  • PTC in pregnancy appears to have a favorable prognosis.

  • Management strategies for PTC in pregnancy may not require significant deviation from standard care.
  • Further research into PTC and pregnancy is warranted to confirm these findings.
