N2  - BACKGROUND: Childhood pregnancy presents multiple challenges, which are compounded when the pregnancy is a result of abuse. While there is ample information regarding the psychological manifestations of childhood sexual abuse, a review of the literature provides modest information on childhood pregnancy, as distinct from teen pregnancy. CASE: A 10-year-old pregnant female reports for medical care at 28-30 weeks gestation. CONCLUSION: Sensitivity to the patient's and family's needs and having a care team who followed a well defined care plan appeared to be the key to optimizing the management of this patient. Although decisions should be based on medical standards, the psychological, social, and, at times, criminal concerns must be considered in every aspect of the patient's care and variations from established patterns of care should be allowed when needed.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
