AB034. Medico-legal ethics dilemma in treatment decisions for intracranial metastasis in a young gravida patient: a case report

This case underscores the challenges in managing intracranial metastasis in pregnancy, necessitating a multidisciplinary approach for optimal management while minimizing harm. In this case, the ethical aspect of patient autonomy is evident as the patient and her family consented to the medical interventions, despite the risks involved. The principle of beneficence and non-maleficence is demonstrated through the medical team's diagnostic and medical interventions aiming to prevent unnecessary harm to the patient and fetus while still providing effective care for the patient. In terms of justice, the patients get fair access to healthcare resources and treatments, regardless of socioeconomic status. Unfortunately, the patient's condition worsened due to cancer progression. In conclusion, the case highlights the importance of respecting patient autonomy while striving to act in their best interests through beneficent medical intervention.
