Popis: The authors describe the first case in the literature of pregnancy in a twenty year old patient suffering from Werdnig Hoffman's disease. This is pure progressive spinal muscular atrophy which involves respiratory and locomotor functions. It brings into consideration several problems of respiration and in particular of genetics to be considered in this case, and we report that pregnancy was well tolerated in the patient who had a severe physical handicap.
