ABSTRACT
Background: Diabetes mellitus continues to be a disease of high prevalence
worldwide; in Mexico it reaches 13.7% and, of this percentage, 30% are unaware that
they suffer from it. This circumstance has been associated with complications during
pregnancy: congenital malformations due to hyperglycaemia in the first trimester of
pregnancy and caudal regression syndrome, among others. Despite advances in the
diagnosis and treatment of this metabolic disease, these alterations continue to cause
disability, hence the importance of early identification in pregnancy.
Clinical case: 35-year-old primigravida patient with a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes
established in the first trimester of pregnancy, with a glycosylated haemoglobin of 7.6%.
Structural ultrasound showed data compatible with caudal regression syndrome and
severe alterations in the extremities. At birth, at 18 weeks, severe dislocation of the
lower extremities was confirmed.
Conclusion: Screening for diabetes should be performed at the first prenatal visit,
especially in high-risk patients. After diagnosis, second level ultrasound is important to
detect abnormalities. Patient education is crucial for adequate metabolic control and
prevention of complications during pregnancy.
