Maternal–fetal outcomes from a pregnant 28–1 weeks woman under four months coma after multi–traumatic brain injury: a case report

Le résumé fourni par la source

In Feb 2015, a pregnant 28–1 weeks woman who was involved in a catastrophic motor vehicle accident with severe brain injuries and systemic multiple fractures was admitted to our emergency room. The patient accepted emergent cesarean section to save the fetus and the subsequent life–sustaining multi disciplinary treatment, and finally recovered from a 4–month coma. This case is presented to explore the delivery outcomes and craniectomy in pregnant women with catastrophic brain injury, which aims to enable clinicians to better appreciate the history and current issues involving advance directives for pregnant women, maternal versus fetal interests, and the impact of fetal viability on medical decision making in pregnant women with catastrophic brain injury and to encourage the use of persistent multi disciplinary treatment to save lives.
