since kyphoscoliosis seems paramount would check pulmonary functions periodically and get an anesthesia consult prior to labor. perhaps Drs Bombard and Roberts could comment on the genetics aspect. best of luck to you and your patient.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
