I need an advice on the following case. 23 yr old primigravida with 10 wks pregnancy presented with diplopia of 2 weeks' duration. No other symptoms. UPT positive. Ophthalmology reference showed no active ophthalmological problem. CT skull showed normal cerebrum and cerebellum, normal ventricular system, normal posterior fossa, calvarium, soft tissue transverse/inf & sup saggital sinuses. LFT, RFT, electrolytes normal LP showed a raised ICT of 32 cms. Diagnosis was benign intracranial hypertension with V nerve palse with raised ICT. 1. Is there an association with pregnancy? 2. Should the pregnancy be terminated? 3. Is this a pregnancy complication? Patient continues to have diplopia. Dr. Amarnath Bhide Associate Professor, N. Wadia Maternity Hospital, Bombay, India. e-mail - amarnath@bom2.vsnl.net.in

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
