title: Neuro-intensive care of the pregnant woman.
abstract: Pregnancy may exacerbate underlying neurologic illness or may precipitate an acute neurologic emergency such as pituitary apoplexy. Care is directed to both mother and fetus in a manner designed to optimize the physiologic stability of both. A "team approach" is often needed.
