BackgroundThe outcomes of pregnancy and subsequent delivery of healthy neonates in women who have undergone previous near total hemispherectomy for Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) have rarely been reported.CaseA woman with SWS had two successful and uncomplicated pregnancies and deliveries under epidural anaesthesia after undergoing a near total hemispherectomy with subsequent unilateral cerebral palsy. Non-contrast MRI of the brain revealed post hemispherectomy changes with no residual meningeal angiomatosis.ConclusionAs more women who undergo surgical resection for underlying SWS grow into the child-bearing years, additional reports of pregnancy and delivery outcomes in this patient population can be expected and will be valuable. |
