title: [Pseudoxanthoma elasticum in pregnancy: effects on mother and child].
abstract: The influence of pregnancy in pseudoxanthoma elasticum patients on mother and child was studied using the data of a case report, the anamnestic information from further nine women with 17 children and the little literature available on this topic. Nearly all pseudoxanthoma elasticum patients showed no serious complications during pregnancy. Only four patients with partly severe gastric hemorrhages in gravidity have been reported. Aggravation of the skin symptoms in pregnancy is not rare. All deliveries were spontaneous with only a few exceptions, and no complications were reported. Effects on the child due to pseudoxanthoma elasticum of the mother are not known. The frequency of abortion is that of the healthy population.
