title: Fabry disease complicating pregnancy.
abstract: 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.
