Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is a rare genetic disorder affecting elastic tissue. This case study shows a healthy pregnancy in a 34-year-old woman with type II PXE, challenging typical obstetric concerns.

Area of Science:

Genetics and rare diseases
Connective tissue disorders
Maternal-fetal medicine

Context:

Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is a rare inherited disorder affecting elastic tissues.
PXE presents with characteristic cutaneous, ocular, and vascular manifestations.
Vascular complications in PXE often raise concerns for obstetric outcomes.

Purpose:

To report a case of pregnancy in a patient with Pseudoxanthoma elasticum.
To evaluate the obstetric course and outcome in a patient with type II PXE.
To contribute to understanding the management of pregnancy in PXE patients.

Summary:

A 34-year-old woman with genetically confirmed type II Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) underwent pregnancy.
The pregnancy progressed without significant complications, despite the known vascular risks associated with PXE.
