Abstract
Among all primary brain tumors with localization in the posterior cranial fossa, hemangioblastoma is the most common among the adult population. In some patients, the manifestation of a brain tumor may occur during pregnancy.
This article describes a clinical case of pregnancy complicated by hypertensive‑hydrocephalic symptoms against the background of cerebellar hemangioblastoma and developed occlusive hydrocephalus. The result of the work of a team of neurosurgeons, obstetricians and anesthesiologists was successful surgical treatment against the background of pregnancy prolongation. Five months after tumor resection, no recurrence of hemangioblastoma was observed, the patient gave birth to a healthy baby naturally.
