Nowadays, women diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and belonging to the reproductive age group have high pregnancy rates, thus increasing the need of a careful pregnancy management in order to avoid maternal and fetal complications. The challenge of the chosen subject consists in identifying the available treatment that can be used during pregnancy time, emphasizing the need of a rigorous care during the preconceptional and postpartum period. The aim of the current review is to describe the management of a pregnant woman diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, in regards of treatment, anesthesia, mode of delivery and management and prevention of relapses during the postpartum period.
