Abstract

The limb-girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMDs) are a group of genetically determined disorders of skeletal muscle, predominantly affecting the pelvic and shoulder-girdle musculature. The clinical course is variable but steadily progressive. Type 2A LGMD is the most frequent form, accounting for approximately 30% of identified cases. There are few reports of patients with Type 2A LGMD undergoing pregnancy and delivery. This case outlines a successful vaginal delivery in a woman with this condition.
