TRUJILLO C, Martha C; BARHOUM F, Salim S  and  MELENDEZ F, Héctor J. Glioblastoma multiforme and pregnancy. Rev. colomb. anestesiol. [online]. 2012, vol.40, n.3, pp.235­-239. ISSN 0120-3347.  https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rca.2012.05.004.

This is a case report of a 27-year-old female patient, G2P1, diagnosed at 20 weeks of gestation with a left frontal supratentorial tumor of a glioblastoma multiforme type, which manifested in the form of ictal absence. The patient was taken to surgery on week 28 and underwent a craniotomy under general anesthesia and fetal monitoring, with a successful outcome for both the mother and the fetus. We consider it important to report this case given this rare association.

Keywords : Pregnancy; Glioblastoma; Craniotomy; Anesthesia; Fetal monitoring.
