This study evaluated pregnancy-related issues in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and highlighted the importance of close cooperation among patients, gynaecologists, and neurologists. Vaginal delivery is not primarily contraindicated, and indications for cesarean section should be considered individually based on personal factors.
OBJECTIVES: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune and neurodegenerative disease. This study evaluated pregnancy- related issues in patients with MS in one perinatological centre. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A single-centre, retrospective study of the perinatal period in patients with MS admitted at the Dpt. of Gynaecology and Obstetrics, Jessenius Faculty of Medicine, Comenius University and the University Hospital in Martin, Slovak Republic, European Union from January 1, 2015 to December 1, 2020 was performed. Selected parameters from personal, obstetric, and neurological histories were analysed. RESULTS: A cohort of 15 patients (32.5 +/- 5.3 years) with a relapsing-remitting form of MS gave birth to 16 children. The mean length of MS at the time of delivery was 9 +/- 3.6 years. The severity of the Expanded Disability Status Scale score was 2.0 +/- 1.5. Caesarean section (CS) was indicated in 14 deliveries (87.5%). It was elective CS in 10 patients. The most common indication for elective CS was a combination of significant chronic fatigue syndrome and neurological deficit (paresis). CONCLUSIONS: The basis for the management of pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period in women with MS is a planned pregnancy based on close cooperation among patients, gynaecologists, and neurologists. Vaginal delivery is not primarily contraindicated. Indications for CS should be considered individually. One way to minimise the indications for CS is a more accurate diagnosis and personalised treatment of fatigue in pregnant women with MS. Presumably, both obstetricians and neurologists prefer vaginal delivery as the first choice in patients with fatigue syndrome.
