Abstract
Congenital erythropoietic porphyria, a rare autosomal recessive disorder of heme biosynthesis, results from markedly deficient uroporphyrinogen III synthase activity.1,2 Data regarding pregnancy in patients with this condition are lacking, which may be explained by the rarity of the disease, as well as social restrictions due to associated photosensitivity or disfiguring effects in more severely affected patients. We describe a successful pregnancy in a patient with congenital erythropoietic porphyria.
