study designThis report describes two pregnant women who experienced progressive neurological symptoms and brain imaging abnormalities that raised concern for a central nervous system demyelinating disease.
subjectsWe report two pregnant women with progressive focal neurological symptoms and radiological findings suggestive of a demyelinating disease.
sample sizeCASE PRESENTATION: We report two pregnant women with progressive focal neurological symptoms and radiological findings suggestive of a demyelinating disease.
research categoriesThese cases highlight the importance of careful neurological assessment, appropriate interpretation of imaging findings, continued postpartum follow-up, and collaboration among obstetricians, neurologists, radiologists, and other specialists when significant neurological symptoms occur during pregnancy.
findingsThis report describes two pregnant women who experienced progressive neurological symptoms and brain imaging abnormalities that raised concern for a central nervous system demyelinating disease.
limitationsHowever, the available retrospective clinical and diagnostic information was insufficient to confirm a definitive MS phenotype in either patient.
