A 36-year-old pregnant female presented with 2 weeks of headaches and blurry vision. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a right parasellar, clinoidal lesion concerning for thrombosed aneurysm or meningioma. After multidisciplinary discussions, she underwent Cesarean section at 36 weeks and gadolinium enhanced MRI was obtained. Given the young age and edema, she underwent a right mini-pterional craniotomy for resection of the mass. Simpson Grade I resection was achieved. The pathology was consistent with World Health Organization grade 1 meningioma.
