Obstetric and anesthetic management of parturients with intracranial neurovascular abnormalities.
Article in Journal of anesthesia, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeNo definite recommendations exist for anesthetic and obstetric management of pregnant patients with intracranial neurovascular disorders during delivery. This case series describes the management of pregnant patients with intracranial vascular abnormalities during delivery.
methodsInformation was gathered from institutional databases to include pregnant patients evaluated by neurology or neurosurgery at a single institution between January 2000 and August 2025 for any central nervous system vascular abnormality. Patients were included if evaluation by neurology or neurosurgery occurred either before, during pregnancy, or up to six months post-partum.
resultsThe study cohort consisted of 26 patients having 31 deliveries. The most common lesions were cavernous malformation (n = 8) and cerebral arteriovenous malformation (n = 8). The remainder had aneurysm (n = 4), dural arteriovenous fistula (n = 2), moyamoya disease (n = 2), venous angioma (n = 1), and carotid dissection (n = 1). Twenty-one deliveries were vaginal and 10 were cesarean delivery (CD). The presence of a neurovascular abnormality was an indication for induction of labor in three individuals and for CD in four deliveries. Neuraxial labor analgesia was used in 14 of the 21 patients who had vaginal delivery. Parturients who underwent CD had spinal anesthesia (n = 8), preexisting labor epidural anesthesia (n = 1), and general anesthesia (n = 1). There were no complications attributed to neuraxial anesthesia.
conclusionsThe presence of central nervous system vascular abnormalities in pregnant patients is rare but poses unique challenges to obstetric and anesthetic management. Neuraxial anesthesia and analgesia can be offered to women with central nervous system vascular abnormalities without abnormal neurologic symptoms.
