Pregnancy with progressive systemic sclerosis increases risks for preterm birth and fetal growth issues. Careful interdisciplinary obstetric monitoring is crucial for managing these high-risk pregnancies.

Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Obstetrics
  • Pulmonology

Background:

  • Progressive systemic sclerosis (PSS) is a connective tissue disease characterized by inflammation and fibrosis.
  • Pregnancy in women with PSS is associated with increased risks of preterm birth and small-for-date infants.

Observation:

  • A 28-year-old woman, Gravida 2, Para 0, presented at 32 weeks gestation with PSS, severe pulmonary fibrosis, and esophageal involvement.
  • She experienced premature labor and cervical incompetence, requiring admission.
  • At 34 weeks gestation, a Cesarean section was performed due to fetal growth arrest and declining pulmonary function.

Findings:

  • The patient underwent Cesarean section under spinal anesthesia.
  • Both the surgical procedure and the postoperative recovery were uneventful.

  • This case highlights the potential complications in pregnant women with PSS.

    • Implications:

    • Pregnant women with PSS face elevated risks for renal and pulmonary complications, including hypertension and hypoxia.
    • Close, interdisciplinary obstetric monitoring is essential for optimizing maternal and fetal outcomes in these high-risk pregnancies.
