Abstract

Because of structural defects in achondroplasia, as one of the dwarfism types, the choice of an anaesthetic technique and management for caesarean delivery presents a challenge. We aimed to discuss our successful single-shot spinal anaesthesia approach for caesarean section for one urgent and one elective achondroplasic parturient based on the literature.
