A 31-years-old patient, pregnant at 32 weeks of gestation presented to our triage unit with complaint of gradually progressive persistent headache that started 1 day earlier and was unresponsive to all analgesics. Her history was insignificant for any major medical or surgical events and the pregnancy course was smooth as well. Her lab results and obstetric ultrasound were reassuring. During magnetic resonance imaging examination, the patient suddenly deteriorated after giving her an inhalational anaesthesia for sedation. She became unconscious. She was intubated, mechanically ventilated, and put-on cardiovascular support. Brain imaging then revealed Brain Stem (BS) herniation and diffuse brain oedema. She was announced dead with intrauterine foetal death. A late diagnosis of cerebral venous thrombosis was established. This caused BS herniation through increased intracranial pressure, which was iatrogenically augmented by administering inhalation anaesthesia. Keywords: cerebral vein; thrombosi; thrombophilia; pregnancy; headache; magnetic resonance imaging; brain stem herniation.

Meningiomas are known to be more common in females than males. They are also known in rare cases to grow in size during pregnancy, which can complicate its management. We describe a 31-year-old Caucasian woman who presented with blurring of her vision and diplopia during the third trimester of her pregnancy. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a small left cavernous sinus meningioma. The patient was treated conservatively until her uncomplicated delivery. A postpartum MRI scan showed complete regression of the suspected meningioma. Currently the patient is contemplating a further pregnancy.
