Abstract EN
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a degenerative motor neurone disease that is rarely seen in the obstetric population.
We present a 32-year-old patient who presented in her fourth pregnancy with a background history of ALS.
There was complete involvement of the upper and lower motor neurone system and bulbar system without involvement of the sensory system.
At 34 weeks of gestation, she had a full course of steroids and an elective caesarian section under general anaesthesia due to extreme restricted mobility and difficulty of breathing.
A multidisciplinary team managed the pregnancy, and both maternal and fetal outcomes were good.
