ABSTRACT
Gestational pemphigoid is the most clearly characterized dermatosis of pregnancy. It is a rare vesiculo-bullous eruption that develops during the last trimester or even in postpartum and causes severe pruritus.The objective of this work is to study the clinical aspects and especially the materno-foetal involvement of this pathology. We report the case of a 35 years old patient who was admitted on a term of 32 weeks of pregnancy for generalized bullous eruption. The diagnosis of gestational pemphigoid was confirmed on clinical and histological arguments. The patient had a caesarian section for acute foetal suffering. Evolution in post partum was characterized by a progressive disappearance of lesions. The patient presented a recurrence of this dermatosis during the second pregnancy. Gestational pemphigoid is a rare dermatosis during the pregnancy. Materno-foetal transmission is possible and expose to a higher risk of prematurity and hypotrophy of the newborn child
