BACKGROUND: Severe and persistent hyperemesis gravidarum is a disabling condition. Women may request termination of pregnancy because of the intolerable symptoms and stress. CASE: A woman requested termination of pregnancy because of severe hyperemesis gravidarum. Her first three pregnancies were also complicated by severe and persistent vomiting. The vomiting was successfully treated with a short course of methylprednisolone. CONCLUSION: Methylprednisolone is an effective treatment for severe hyperemesis gravidarum and should be considered for women whose vomiting is persistent and refractory to conventional therapy. |
