Abstract
Objective. To study the course of pregnancy and to optimize delivery in women with cerebrovascular diseases. Subjects and methods. A total of 102 pregnant women aged 17 to 42 years with cerebrovascular diseases (CVD) (strokes) were followed up. In 25 of them, stroke occurred during this pregnancy. All the women underwent general clinical examination, hemostatic study, ultrasound and instrumental techniques, and consultations by a neurologist, a neurosurgeon, and an anesthesiologist. Results. After the examination, a delivery plan was consultatively elaborated: 47 (46.1%) pregnant women delivered a baby via cesarean delivery, 55 (53.9%) had vaginal deliveries, including obstetrical forceps and fetal vacuum extraction ones in 3 (2.9%) in 16 (15.7%) cases, respectively. 104 babies (two twins) were born; 97 (93.3%) infants were satisfactorily discharged home together with their mothers; 7 (6.7%), including four of the twins and other three babies after a premature birth, were transferred to the second nursing step. There were no maternal and perinatal deaths. Conclusion. Successful treatment and adequate management of pregnancy in this group of patients depends on the clear interaction of obstetricians/gynecologists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, anesthesiologists, and neonatologists. To optimize the management of pregnant women with CVD with the participation of a group of specialists makes it possible to safely increase the frequency of vaginal delivery in these patients.
