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