Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a degenerative motor neurone disease that is rarely seen in the obstetric population. We present a 32-year-old patient who presented in her fourth pregnancy with a background history of ALS. There was complete involvement of the upper and lower motor neurone system and bulbar system without involvement of the sensory system. At 34 weeks of gestation, she had a full course of steroids and an elective caesarian section under general anaesthesia due to extreme restricted mobility and difficulty of breathing. A multidisciplinary team managed the pregnancy, and both maternal and fetal outcomes were good.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by the loss of upper and lower motor neurons, which manifests clinically as progressive weakness. Although several epidemiological studies have found an association between traumatic brain injury (TBI) and ALS, there is not a consensus on whether TBI is an ALS risk factor. It may be that it can cause ALS in a subset of susceptible patients, based on a history of repetitive mild TBI and genetic predisposition. This cannot be determined based on clinical observational studies alone. Better preclinical models are necessary to evaluate the effects of TBI on ALS onset and progression. To date, only a small number of preclinical studies have been performed, mainly in the superoxide dismutase 1 transgenic rodents, which, taken together, have mixed results and notable methodological limitations. The more recent incorporation of additional animal models such as Drosophila flies, as well as patient-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neurons, should facilitate a better understanding of a potential functional interaction between TBI and ALS.
