Abstract
A 29-year-old woman affected by pseudoxanthoma elasticum gave birth to her second child in our department, thirteen months after the delivery of her first boy. Her care illustrates many of the potential risks of this rare autosomal systemic disorder. In order to detect any changes due to pregnancy, ophthalmologic and cardiologic screening examinations should be performed in the beginning of the pregnancy and repeated several weeks after the delivery. During labor, epidural anesthesia seems to be more advantageous.
