PEREZ RODRIGUEZ, A.F.; ROCHE, M.  and  LARRANAGA, C.. Medical disorders and pregnancy: Gastrointestinal, neurological, cardiovascular and dermatological disorders. Anales Sis San Navarra [online]. 2009, vol.32, suppl.1, pp.135-157. ISSN 1137-6627.

A pregnant woman can present medical pathologies similar to a woman who is not pregnant. However, the clinical features of some pathologies and the diagnostic or therapeutic process might be altered due to changes produced by pregnancy and the presence of the foetus. In some cases this can limit the diagnostic methods or the therapies to be applied. This article sets out the digestive and cardiovascular pathologies, pathologies of the nervous system and dermatoses of greatest relevance due to their frequency or severity, which might be encountered in an emergency consultation. It also offers a practical approach for the initial handling and the prognosis for the mother and the foetus.

Keywords : Pregnancy; Cardiovascular diseases; Gastrointestinal diseases; Dermatoses; Diseases of the nervous system.
