Abstract
Use of neuraxial block in a patient with severe kyphoscoliosis is controversial. We describe the anaesthetic management
by spinal anaesthesia of a parturient with severe kyphoscoliosis in obstructed labour. The perioperative course was
uneventful. We suggest that a patient with severe kyphoscoliosis may be successfully managed by spinal anaesthesia for
caesarean section.
