title: Corrected scoliosis, cholinesterase deficiency, and cesarean section: a case report.

During a previous caesarean section under general anaesthesia pseudocholinesterase deficiency was discovered. Ultrasound guided spinal anaesthesia was performed enabling a second caesarean section under loco-regional anaesthesia.
