PARDO CAMACHO, Guillermo et al. A case of arachnoidal tissue meningioma related to pregnancy. Rev Cubana Obstet Ginecol [online]. 2009, vol.35, n.2, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-3062.

Spinal meningiomas are extramedullary tumors of mesoderm origin, producing signs of medulla compression, and a progressive neurologic deterioration. Authors present the case of a pregnant aged 25 presenting with a spastic paraparesis with signs of pyramid in physical examination. At admission she had 28 weeks gestation in Intensive Care Unit and a viable fetus. She was operated on with a previous pregnancy interruption. A D6-D8 minectomy was performed by posterior via and a total tumor removal. There is a clinical, imaging, and pathology diagnosis of fibroblastic dorsal meningioma. She had a satisfactory postsurgical course with a total recovery or motor defect; 10 weeks later we performed a cesarean section and a newborn weighing 2800 g and a Apgar score of 9/9.

Keywords : Dorsal meningioma; pregnancy; microsurgical resection.
