Choriocarcinoma in Ongoing Pregnancy Presenting with Intracranial Metastasis.

Choriocarcinoma presents usually as persistent trophoblastic disease, with prognosis worsening with duration from antecedent pregnancy. We present a unique case of a woman with choriocarcinoma who presented in the third trimester of pregnancy with eclampsia. She was managed with magnesium sulphate and underwent a caesarean section. However, she developed seizures in the post-partum period that were further investigated and attributed to intracranial metastatic lesions of Gestational Trophoblastic Neoplasia (GTN). We discussed the diagnostic challenge in this rare case of GTN and the grave potential it can have in such a presentation, as in our patient.
