Clin Case Rep. 2023 Apr 7;11(4):e7179. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.7179. eCollection 2023 Apr.

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.

Keywords: Fibrobronchoscope‐guided conscious endotracheal intubation; cesarean section; general anesthesia; osteogenesis imperfecta.
