Abstract

There is a paucity of clinical data regarding the management of pregnancy and lactation in women requiring long-term total parenteral nutrition with complex nutritional needs. This case report and literature review highlights common challenges in care and presents evidence which can guide the obstetrician's approach to care.

Keywords: Crohn’s disease; high-risk pregnancy; total parenteral nutrition.
