## Abstract

Pregnancy in patients with hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsy (HNPP) can present unique challenges. This is due to the potential exacerbation of neurological symptoms and the need for careful management during the antepartum, intrapartum, and postpartum periods. In this case report, we will discuss the successful management of a young pregnant female with a history of HNPP delivered by cesarean section. We will also review the existing literature on the management of pregnant patients with HNPP, focusing on the multidisciplinary input and strategies to minimize the risk of complications during labor and delivery. Reporting cases of pregnancy in HNPP is important for increasing awareness among clinicians and optimizing patient care.
