Abstract
Historically, surgical management of cerebral aneurysms during pregnancy ha s been controversial. Debate originally focused on early versus late interv ention, before or after delivery of the fetus. More recently, treatment has centered on rapid intervention. We describe the endovascular treatment of cerebral artery aneurysms with Guglielmi detachable coils in three pregnant women.
