[Pregnancy and delivery in a woman with Wilson's disease (degeneratio hepatoleuticularis)].

The authors present the course of two gestations and labours in women with Wilson's disease. Both patients were treated with D-penicillamine during pregnancy. As a result of their observations, the authors suggest that Wilson's disease requires proper diagnosis and cure before pregnancy and adequate care during pregnancy. In such a situation Wilson's disease should not be a high risk factor for pregnant women and their babies. It should be pointed out that undiagnosed Wilson's disease can be a cause of habitual abortion and infertility.
