- Abstract
Pineoblastoma is an extremely rare intracranial neoplasm, with increased risk of craniospinal metastasis. There is only one case reported in the literature who presented during pregnancy. Described here is a woman who presented at five months of gestation with recurrence of pineoblastoma, who had previously defaulted adjuvant therapy following surgical decompression. The challenges in the diagnosis and treatment of pineoblastoma and its effects on pregnancy are also discussed.
