This case demonstrates that successful pregnancy and delivery can be achieved in patients with Andersen-Tawil syndrome using careful monitoring, potassium replacement, and intravenous beta blockade.
Subbiah et al. (2008) conducted a case report in Andersen-Tawil syndrome (n=1). Potassium replacement and intravenous beta blockade was evaluated on Successful delivery and management of pregnancy. A 27-year-old pregnant woman with Andersen-Tawil syndrome was successfully managed through pregnancy and delivery using potassium replacement and intravenous beta blockade.
