Abstract
A 26-year-old female was given total parenteral nutrition without complications during the last 2 months of her pregnancy. A partial small bowel obstruction caused by Crohn's disease prevented oral alimentation, necessitating parenteral nutrition. A term, female infant weighing 2680 grams was delivered vaginally without complications. At birth and 11 months of age, the infant's physical and developmental assessments were normal. This case report demonstrates that total parenteral nutrition can be administered during the last trimester of pregnancy to improve maternal nutrition so as to promote fetal growth.Keywords
