Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) is an inherited disorder characterized by partial defects in the heme biosynthetic pathway. Although its association with pregnancy is rare, it presents the obstetrician with challenging problems especially in labor management, as one of the obstetrical life line drugs (methergin) is contraindicated for use in these patients. We hereby present a case of AIP who had an uneventful pregnancy with a good neonatal outcome. |
