Vaginal delivery in a woman with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy. A case report.
BACKGROUND
Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy is a muscular disease determined genetically. Few papers have been published on this disorder in pregnancy. Several authors reported on delivery by cesarean section because of the risk of dystocia.


METHODS
A woman with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy had two pregnancies with normal vaginal delivery and follow-up. No obstetric complications related to the disease occurred.


CONCLUSIONS
A trial of labor is possible in patients with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy if no obstetric contraindications exist.
