Pregnancy in Pompe disease
نویسنده
چکیده
Pregnancy in Pompe disease is still a rare event. Only few reports have been published. Physiological changes of pregnancy may be aggravated by Pompe disease or vice versa. Both may pose a risk for the mother and the unborn child. This talk outlines physiological changes of the cardiovascular, respiratory and hormonal system during pregnancy and delineates the impact on a 36-year-old Pompe patient with a twin pregnancy. Furthermore, recommendations for a prospective medical strategy are presented and a workflow for routine follow-up during pregnancy is suggested. Recommendations include the planning of the pregnancy, genetic counselling, and prepregnancy investigations. An interdisciplinary team consisting of an obstetrician, pulmonologist, internist, endocrinologist and anaesthesiologist is suggested for care of the pregnant patient with Pompe disease.

Pompe disease (PD), also known as “glycogen storage disease type II (OMIM # 232300)” is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by progressive glycogen accumulation in cellular lysosomes. It ultimately leads to cellular damage. Infantile-onset Pompe disease (IOPD) is the most severe type of this disease and is characterized by severe hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and generalized hypoton...
