Abstract
Parenteral nutrition (PN) is essential for patients with chronic intestinal failure but poses significant challenges during pregnancy because of increased nutrition needs and associated risks such as central line-associated bloodstream infections. We report a case of a 29-year-old primigravid woman with Crohn's disease who required chronic PN. Despite these complexities, her pregnancy was managed successfully with tailored PN adjustments. She developed intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy at 38 weeks and delivered a healthy, full-term newborn. Meticulous planning and individualized nutrition management are crucial in navigating the complexities of PN during pregnancy, demonstrating the potential for successful outcomes with strategic and personalized interventions.
