Pompe disease is an autosomal-recessive disorder caused by acid alpha-glucosidase deficiency due to mutations in the GAA gene. There are two forms of the disease: infantile-onset Pompe disease and late-onset Pompe disease. The worldwide incidence of both forms of the disease is commonly reported to be 1 in 40,000. Adult patients are affected by limb-girdle muscular weakness and respiratory insufficiency. Enzyme replacement therapy with alglucosidase-alpha is available since 2006. There is little knowledge about pregnant woman with Pompe disease. These women should be considered as high-risk pregnant women. Here, we aim to present Cesarean delivery and postpartum management of a case with an interrupted enzyme replacement therapy during pregnancy.
