Crigler-Najjar syndrome (CNS) has been rarely described during pregnancy with only few case reports available in literature, CNS is expressed in two forms, CNS type I and CNS type II; Type I CNS results in severe unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia and neurological impairment in newborn and is fatal. Type II CNS results in milder unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia responding to Phenobarbital treatment with better outcome. [Int J Reprod Contracept Obstet Gynecol 2014; 3(1.000): 261-262]
