Regional anaesthesia for multiple caesarean sections in a parturient with osteogenesis imperfecta.
We describe a 27-year-old woman with osteogenesis imperfecta who, over a period of 9 years, underwent five caesarean sections under regional anaesthesia without major complication. The first three operations were conducted under epidural and the last two under spinal anaesthesia. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of spinal anaesthesia for caesarean section in a parturient with osteogenesis imperfecta.
