BACKGROUND
Few cases of Fabry disease, an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder, complicating pregnancy are reported.


METHODS
A 36-year-old primigravida with known Fabry disease manifest with acroparesthesias, tinnitus, and hearing loss delivered a healthy unaffected infant at term.


CONCLUSIONS
A symptomatic Fabry carrier may experience an otherwise uncomplicated pregnancy in the absence of vital organ involvement.
