Glycogen storage disease type IIIa in pregnant women: A guide to management.

Glycogen storage disease type IIIa (GSD-IIIa) is an autosomal recessive disorder that impairs glycogenolysis, producing ketotic hypoglycaemia, hepatomegaly, cardiac and skeletal myopathy. During pregnancy, increased metabolic demand requires careful management. There are few case reports about pregnancy in GSD-IIIa, however none detail management during caesarean section.
