Epidural anaesthesia for caesarean section in pituitary dwarfism
Abstract
We describe the anaesthetic management for caesarean section in a 32-year-old patient with pituitary dwarfism. In addition to supportive treatment, we offered a postoperative epidural analgesia pump. The patient recovered well without any complications.
Keywords: Anaesthetic management; Caesarean section; Pituitary dwarfism.
