title: Experience with the treatment of argininosuccinic aciduria during pregnancy.
abstract: We present the details of the management and the outcome of a pregnancy of a woman affected with argininosuccinic aciduria. Management with a closely monitored, protein-restricted diet, supplemented with L-arginine, resulted in the birth of a healthy infant boy and an uneventful perinatal course for the mother.
