A Case Report of Spontaneous Vaginal Delivery Under General Anesthesia in a Patient With a Large Cerebral Aneurysm.
Curēus 2024 Februrary
Cerebral aneurysms are rarely encountered in pregnancy. Their antepartum and intrapartum management remain clinically challenging, primarily due to concern regarding potential rupture. We present a case of a patient in preterm labor at risk for imminent delivery with a 10mm cerebral aneurysm. She was recommended for cesarean section (CS), yet delivered via spontaneous vaginal delivery in the operating room after induction of general anesthesia for the intended CS. Her aneurysm and neurologic function remained intact postpartum. Cerebral aneurysms <5mm are unlikely to undergo significant growth during pregnancy. The presence of a cerebral aneurysm is not automatically a contraindication to the Valsalva maneuver. The recommendation for which patients with unruptured cerebral aneurysms should deliver by CS, operative vaginal delivery, or unassisted vaginal delivery (i.e., which patients should avoid Valsalva maneuver intrapartum), is complex and requires multidisciplinary discussion.
