BACKGROUND:

Proteus syndrome is a rare, congenital, hamartomatous disease that can affect all the structures of the body. This disorder is not inherited. There are no case reports in the literature that show its sexual and reproductive implications.

CLINICAL CASE:

21-year-old woman, primiparous, diagnosed with Proteus syndrome at 6 years of age, due to early menarche. He received treatment with growth hormone inhibitors, followed by a multidisciplinary team. In adolescence, the diagnosis of myopia and peripheral venous insufficiency was established. In consensus, the interruption of pregnancy by abdominal route, use of medium compression media and acetylsalicylic acid was suggested. At week 35 of the pregnancy, she had preeclampsia, with severity criteria (175-123 mmHg), for which she began treatment with crystalloid solutions, antihypertensives and Zuspan, with a reaction and hemodynamic stabilization. The fetus had anhydramnios and redistribution of hemodynamic flows. Seven days after the obstetric event, the antihypertensive drugs were withdrawn and continued monitoring with the multidisciplinary team. The mother and daughter were released from the hospital without apparent complications.

CONCLUSIONS:

Vascular malformations and alterations of adipose tissue suggest a risk factor that alters regulation in angiogenesis and venous insufficiency is a promoter of thrombosis; in turn, this can be considered a risk of preeclampsia, so early multidisciplinary treatment is suggested to avoid complications. So, more cases must be reported and collected to accept this hypothesis.
