Abstract
We report a case which illustrates the fact that an exacerbation of Charcot Marie Tooth disease, while rare, is possible during pregnancy. Moreover ou r case suggests the possibility of a positive effect of corticosteroids on such a complication, with an improvment of clinical symptoms as well as of electrophysiological results.
