title: [Steinert disease and pregnancy].
abstract: Steinert's syndrome and pregnancy with delivery are rarely associated. It is a dominant autosome disease. Certain signs in pregnancy may suggest that the fetus is affected. One case made it possible to demonstrate these facts. Hydramnios with infrequent fetal movements and a slow fetal heart rate may lead to a suspicion of fetal involvement. This is always serious. The presence of the disease in the mother should be sought if it is not already known. If there is already a known family history the patient should see a geneticist so long as early amniocentesis has not yet been performed.
