Abstract EN
We present two cases of carnitine deficiency in pregnancy.
In our first case, systematic screening revealed L-carnitine deficiency in the first born of an asymptomatic mother.
In the course of her second pregnancy, maternal carnitine levels showed a deficiency as well.
In a second case, a mother known with carnitine deficiency under supplementation was followed throughout her pregnancy.
Both pregnancies had an uneventful outcome.
Because carnitine deficiency can have serious complications, supplementation with carnitine is advised.
This supplementation should be continued throughout pregnancy according to plasma concentrations.
