[Waldmann disease and pregnancy].
Waldman disease, also called intestinal lymphangiectasis, is a protein-loosing enteropathy caused by anomalous intestinal lymphatic canals. The condition is transmitted by autosomal dominant inheritance. Diet therapy including medium chain triglycerides improves the disease course. The condition occurs in early childhood. We report a case observed in a pregnant woman with intestinal lymphangiectasis. She delivered a full-term infant and experienced no major complications.
