title: [Anesthetic management of caesarean section in a parturient with ankylosing spondylitis complicated with severe cervical myelitis].
abstract: A 28-year-old patient with ankylosing spondylitis and cervical myelitis was scheduled for caesarean section. We selected general anesthesia because of her cervical myelitis. Her trachea was intubated using a flexible fiberscope. The patient and the infant had no complications on their discharge.
