A Case of Pregnancy with Systemic Sclerosis Presenting with Acute Dyspnoea
Abstract:
Pregnancy in women diagnosed with systemic sclerosis generally has a favorable outcome. It is now known that the majority of these women undergo
a normal progression of pregnancy if the right time for delivery is chosen and
a close obstetric care is delivered. The obstetric risk will depend on the subtype and clinical stage of the disease, and the presence and severity of the internal organ involvement during the pregnancy. The management of these pregnancies should be provided in a specialized center, with a multidisciplinary team capable of identifying and promptly treating complications. Here we report a case of systemic sclerosis in a young woman with good pregnancy outcome.
