Abstract

In patients with fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase) deficiency, maternal and fetal neurodevelopmental abnormalities can be induced by severe hypoglycemia and lactic acidosis, which is triggered by pregnancy. The patient was a 24-year-old and primipara. Via pre-pregnancy education and management including self-monitoring of blood glucose and prompt medical intervention with glucose infusions, she never experienced hypoglycemia with impaired consciousness. She delivered a 2,406 g male infant at 38 weeks of gestation by cesarean section. No neurological abnormalities in either the mother or the child appeared during the following 2 years. This is the first report with detailed descriptions of the management of a pregnant woman with FDPase deficiency. This report suggests that for a patient with FBPase deficiency, the maternal and fetal complications can be reduced by pre-pregnancy education and self-monitoring of blood glucose to prevent hypoglycemia.
