Abstract
Throughout her pregnancy and delivery, we followed a tiny 32-year-old woman suffering from muscular dystrophy and respiratory insufficiency. With carefully monitored maternal and fetal oxygenation and planned cesarean section under combined epidural and general anesthesia, she delivered a healthy baby at 32 gestational weeks.
