Abstract EN
Pseudotumour Cerebri is a rare disorder, which occurs in the reproductive age group.
It is relatively rare in pregnancy.
We report one case of Pseudotumour Cerebri which was diagnosed preconceptially and was initially treated with corticosteroids.
When pregnancy was diagnosed, the corticosteroid was discontinued and treatment was changed to repeated lumbar punctures.
Symptomatic relief was achieved and the patient had an unremarkable antenatal course.
A 3050 g full term female was delivered vaginally with apgar scores of 9 and 10 at 1 and 5 minutes respectively.
Seven similar cases were reviewed which also diagnosed preconceptially.
Clinical presentation, modalities of treatment and outcome of pregnancy are discussed.
