Abstract:
We report on a favourable pregnancy in a woman affected by mut- methylmalonic acidaemia. Under vitamin B12 and carnitine therapy she remained symptom-free throughout pregnancy, labour, delivery and the postpartum period and gave birth to a term, healthy female newborn. At follow-up, the child shows normal somatic and neurocognitive development.
