Abstract
Women with spinal cord injuries are at risk for autonomic hyperreflexia during labor. A 36-year-old woman, gravida 4, para 2, abortus 1, with a spinal cord injury and a positive antibody screen result had had a previous pregnancy complicated by autonomic hyperreflexia during labor. Autonomic hyperreflexia did not occur during serial amniocenteses and fetal transfusions for isoimmunization or intrapartum. Intrauterine procedures and vaginal delivery were accomplished without autonomic hyperreflexia in this pregnancy. Intrauterine procedures and vaginal delivery might be done safely in women with histories of autonomic hyperreflexia.
