Literature regarding cases of pregnant patients with hereditary spastic paraparesis (Strumpell-Lorrain disease) and those treated by intrathecal baclofen therapy is sparse. There are currently no specific guidelines to manage pregnancy and delivery in these patients. A 42-year-old woman presented to our clinic with hereditary spastic paraparesis and was treated with intrathecal baclofen for spasticity. She conceived twice and delivered successfully by caesarean section under subarachnoid anaesthesia. The two pregnancies had favourable outcomes with no increase in spasticity and no problems encountered with the intrathecal device. In this report, we discuss the evolution of both pregnancies and the anaesthetic management for deliveries in the presence of an intrathecal catheter. Keywords: Caesarean section; case report; hereditary spastic paraparesis; intrathecal baclofen; pregnancy.
