AbstractWe present our management of a 24-year-old primigravida with a recently diagnosed low-grade left temporal astroglioma, who was delivered by elective caesarean section. General anaesthesia with supplementary bilateral ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane blocks was chosen to reduce the requirements for intra- and postoperative opioids, the risk of postoperative respiratory depression and the potential exacerbation of borderline raised intracranial pressure.
