Key result
Nail-patella syndrome, a rare genetic condition characterized by abnormal nails, patellae, elbows, and iliac horns, was successfully managed in a pregnant patient.
This case report demonstrates that successful management of pregnancy is possible in patients with nail-patella syndrome.
Supports pregnancy management feasibility in nail-patella syndrome; leaves open optimal strategies pending larger studies.
Summary Nail‐patella syndrome is a genetic condition estimated to affect approximately 1 in 50 000 people. Classically described as a tetrad of abnormal development of the nails, patellae and elbows with the presence of iliac horns. The phenotype and the number of organs involved are variable. Here we describe the successful management of a pregnant patient with nail‐patella syndrome.
