A A Case Rep. 2016 Mar 15;6(6):146-9. doi: 10.1213/XAA.0000000000000265.

Abstract

Blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome, a syndrome of multifocal venous malformations, has been reported rarely during pregnancy. This syndrome has been associated with airway lesions in some patients and neuraxial abnormalities in other patients. We report the anesthetic and obstetric management of a patient with an extensive distribution of both airway and neuraxial lesions.
