Pregnancy in a gerodermia osteodysplastica patient: a case report.
Gerodermia osteodysplastica is a rare autosomal recessive connective tissue disorder included in the cutis laxa syndromes. We report the first case of pregnancy in a 26-year-old patient with gerodermia osteodysplastica, which terminated in successful cesarean delivery at term. The course, management, and potential concerns of such an extraordinary pregnancy are described.
