Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis (PAM) is a rare autosomal recessive disease with a high penetrance characterized by widespread intra-alveolar accumulation of innumerable minute calculi called microliths. Pregnancy with PAM is even rarer. Here we are presenting the second case in India of 28yrs G2P1L1 37 weeks 1 day, known case of PAM with gestational hypothyroidism. She had difficulty in breathing which has increased from NYHA- grade II to NYHA- grade III from the fifth month of gestation. She had parrot beak (grade 3) clubbing. She was having intrauterine growth restriction with a growth discrepancy of four weeks. The patient was taken for cesarean section in view of a breech with premature rupture of the membrane with intrauterine growth restriction. Since lung function is compromised, oxygen supply to the baby is expected to be compromised, which can lead to intrauterine growth restriction, which is evident in this patient in both of her pregnancies.
