Abstract
This report describes a patient with cerebral palsy complicated with severe acroparalysis who underwent pregnancy and partus. Case:
M.O., 27-year-old female.
She developed cerebral palsy 3-months after having a temperature of 40°C continuously for 1 week. She has been recognized as a 1st-grade disabled person.
Family history:
Her mother has been diagnosed as psychotic; however, details are unknown. One elder and one younger sister have no abnormalities.
Marriage:
She was married to a 27-year-old healthy man at the age of 27.
Present illness:
She cannot take care of herself due to severe acroparalysis, being helped by her husband and volunteers. It is possible to exchange words with her, although it is difficult to understand what she says because of aphasia. Both she and her husband are eager to have a baby but cannot find any facilities being willing to handle her delivery.
During pregnancy:
She had a normal course during pregnancy without showing any remarkable abnormalities.
She underwent a cesarean section because of the impossibility of natural delivery.
She delivered a 2, 810 g female baby with an Apgar score of 10 and no external abnormalities. The puerperal course was uneventful; her milk flew well. She was discharged on the 12th postoperative day. Neither mother nor child showed any abnormalities on physical checkup after 1 month.
