| description | With advancement of medicine in the field of diagnostics and treatment of women
suffering from certain genetic disorders, more and more women have attained reproductive age
and desired fertility. Maintaining pregnancy, as well as bringing it to an end poses a real challenge not
only for obstetricians, but also for anesthesiologists involved in the procedure. In our case report, we
describe anesthetic management of a female patient suffering from myotonic dystrophy type 2 and
suspected von Willebrand’s disease, and undergoing elective cesarean section. It is acknowledged that
both diseases have their own peculiarities and specificities related to anesthesia and require careful
consideration when it comes to selecting it. Bearing in mind the advantages and disadvantages of certain
types of anesthesia, we believe that in this case, general anesthesia was a better choice compared
to the regional techniques of anesthesia. |
