Rezumat: Brain cancer during pregnancy is an unusual event, with
a poor resolution due to its signs and symptoms that can
be confused with those of pregnancy. Complications like
infections and hemorrhages can occur due to multiple
tumoral surgeries and these may represent another risk
factor and can increase the morbidity and mortality. We
present two cases of brain cancer during pregnancy which
occurred in six months, between June 2021 and December
2021, in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of
the University Emergency Hospital, Bucharest. One of the
most important facts we noticed in our cases was that both
patients were very young (25 years old) and pregnant when
the diagnosis was established. The histopathological exam
revealed different results, as one of them was glioblastoma
and the second one was anaplastic oligodendroglioma. The
last one needed multiple interventions due to complications.
In both cases, the newborns had a favorable evolution and
the patients began radiotherapy after delivery. Cuvinte cheie: pregnancy, brain cancer, young women,boligodendroglioma, glioblastoma.
