Successful epidural anaesthesia for Caesarean section in a patient with spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia.
Spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita is a rare genetic entity in which it is very important to involve anaesthetists early on to discuss the possible anaesthetic complications for both general or regional anaesthesia. A case is described of a patient with spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia and multifetal pregnancy in which successful epidural anaesthesia for caesarean section was performed.
