title: Cervico-oculo-acousticus syndrome with pregnancy.
abstract: Cervico-oculo-acousticus syndrome is a very rare entity with only 21 cases described in the world literature. A study of a case of this syndrome with pregnancy is presented. This primigravida, in addition to the classical triad of the syndrome, had other dysmorphic features such as short stature (141 cm), and marked thoracic kyphosis with restricted ventilatory capacity. Her physical activity during pregnancy was guided according to her respiratory status. In spite of marked thoracic kyphosis the cephalo-pelvic relationship was found to be adequate for a vaginal delivery. A healthy male baby weighing 3.8 kg was delivered by an outlet forceps at term. Puerperium was uneventful. The child was clinically normal at the age of 2 years.
