Debatable Issues of Pathological Course of Pregnancy and Childbirth in Connective Tissue Dysplasia

Abstract

The main function of CT is to provide structural support to other tissues. Cartilage and bone are the main types of connective tissue, other types include areolar connective tissue, which holds organs together, and dense connective tissue, which forms ligaments and tendons. We examined 47 pregnant women with uCDT and 15 healthy pregnant women without uCDT aged 24-30 years. The threat of termination of pregnancy occurred in 50% of women with uCDT, and the threat of preterm birth was observed 6 times more often than in healthy pregnant women. Thus, pregnant women with signs of various forms of uCDT belong to high-risk groups of obstetric and perinatal pathology, and therefore they need close monitoring during pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period, and it is also necessary to examine newborns who have a high probability of inheriting this disease.
