The anesthetic consideration of a gravid patient with osteogenesis imperfecta undergoing cesarean section: A case report.

Abstract

Abstract Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare disorder of bone fragility. Gravid patients with OI usually need cesarean and may present multiple challenges. We present a case of an OI patient with severe scoliosis and an anticipated difficult airway undergoing cesarean section, with details on perioperative assessment and strategy of anesthesia.
