The authors describe a case of Steinert's disease. It was tracked down because of three anomalies of pregnancy: a lessening in active movements of the fetus, breech presentation and hydramnios, and it was diagnosed by neurological and electromyography of the mother. The existence of hydramnios should make it possible to avoid maternal trauma during the delivery, knowing that the child will be born with a very severe form of the illness, which is likely to be lethal. Those few cases that survive are severely mentally handicapped.
作者描述了一例斯坦纳特病病例。该病例因孕期出现的三个异常情况而被发现：胎儿活动减少、臀位和羊水过多，通过对母亲进行神经学检查和肌电图检查得以确诊。鉴于孩子出生时病情严重且可能致命，羊水过多的情况应能避免分娩时对母亲造成创伤。少数存活下来的病例存在严重智力障碍。
