This article discusses a case of Anti-synthetase syndrome (ASS) diagnosed during pregnancy. The patient, a 36-year-old female, presented with symptoms of dyspnea, polyarthritis, and myalgia. She was diagnosed with ASS based on clinical examination, serological work-up, and imaging tests. The patient received treatment and successfully carried the pregnancy to 21 weeks, when an emergency caesarean section was performed due to placental abruption. The article also provides a literature review of similar cases and discusses the management of ASS in pregnancy. The study found that all cases of ASS diagnosed during pregnancy were associated with severe maternal disease and fetal death. The authors hypothesize that adverse fetal prognosis may be due to ASS-mediated placental dysfunction. The article emphasizes the challenges of managing ASS during pregnancy and the importance of multidisciplinary management to optimize outcomes. [Extracted from the article]
