Abstract

We present a case report of a 22-year-old pregnant patient with type 1 diabetes mellitus diagnosed with an appendicitis at 21st week of gestation, who underwent laparotomy and appendectomy. In later pregnancy she required treatment for recurrent urinary tract infections and nephrolithiasis. Despite having several risk factors for an unfavorable perinatal outcome, she had caesarean section performed at term and delivered a healthy full-term newborn. In this patient, we also discuss clinical conundrum of pregnancy complicated with several conditions that may manifest with acute abdominal symptoms and perioperative care for a pregnant woman with type 1 diabetes..
