Haemorrhagic Presentation of a Craniopharyngioma in a Pregnant Woman

الملخص EN

Objective.

Craniopharyngioma is a rare tumour, and, consequently, acute clinical presentation and diagnosis, during pregnancy, of this pathology are quite difficult to find.

Only few cases are reported in the literature, and no one describes these two conditions in association.

Methods.

We report a particular case of craniopharyngioma presenting both of the above conditions.

Results.

The patient was successfully operated with endoscopic technique.

Conclusions.

Rare and difficult cases, created by the superposition of different clinical conditions, need multidisciplinary management, with collaboration, integration, and cooperation between different medical specialists.
