We represent cases of women which presented with meningiomas associated with pregnancy. This tumor associated with pregnancy not often but if it occurs, meningioma is having fast growth. We describe the case of 43-years-old woman with huge malignant meningioma and a hemorrhage in it which under-went craniotomy during the 38th week of pregnancy because of sharp deterioration. The surgical procedure and postoperative period were relatively easy. Besides we have made literature review.
