“…In addition, the occurrence of PM during one pregnancy does not necessarily predict the recurrence of symptoms in a later pregnancy. 86 Outcome for the mother is generally good although there is one report of a maternal death after a postpartum exacerbation. 103 One patient reportedly improved after pregnancy termination at 16 weeks.…”

“…103 One patient reportedly improved after pregnancy termination at 16 weeks. 86 PM and DM are not transmitted to the fetus but may cause elevated serum creatine kinase (CK) levels in the neonate for a few months. 77 First-line therapy for DM and PM is corticosteroids; IVIg is effective for steroid-resistant myositis.…”

“…Polymyositis (PM) and dermatomyositis (DM) occur in approximately 5 cases per million in the general population, of which 14% occur in the reproductive period. 86 The outcome of pregnancies in women affected by DM or PM is closely linked to the health of the mother. A literature review found that 43% of pregnancies with active disease were complicated by fetal death and 33% had intrauterine growth retardation.…”

Many neuromuscular conditions occur more frequently during pregnancy and include carpal tunnel syndrome, Bell's palsy, lumbosacral radiculopathy, meralgia paresthetica, intercostal neuralgia, and other compression neuropathies. Preexisting or coincident neuromuscular diseases, including demyelinating polyneuropathies, inflammatory muscle disease, myasthenia gravis, and inherited nerve and muscle disease present specific problems during pregnancy. We review management of neuromuscular disorders during pregnancy, labor, delivery, and the early postpartum period.

Dermatomyositis (DM) and polymyositis (PM) belong to the group of inflammatory muscle diseases characterized by inflammation of the muscles. These diseases are usually studied together as dermatomyositis/polymyositis (DM/PM). Regarding pregnant patients affected with DM/PM, important individual issues arise as: (1) Do female patients with DM/PM successfully complete pregnancy, giving birth to healthy infants or is there high risk of complications for both mother and fetus? (2) Is there a connection between activity of DM/PM and high risk of complications during gestation? (3) Does pregnancy increase the risk of DM/PM activation? (4) Does pregnancy increase the risk of DM/PM relapse during or right after gestation? After our attempt to answer these questions, we will refer to the treatment of the disease during pregnancy and the effect it could have on the completion of pregnancy.
