    AbstractCarnitine palmitoyl transferase II (CPT II) deficiency is a rare disorder of fatty acid metabolism in cell mitochondria. There is limited information about the disease process and complications of anaesthesia, particularly in the obstetric population. Due to the increased risks of general anaesthesia in patients with CPT II deficiency, neuraxial anaesthesia is the preferred method of anaesthesia. We describe a patient with CPT II deficiency who had spinal anaesthesia for caesarean section. Subsequently, the patient had prolonged neuraxial blockade, a previously undescribed complication in a patient with CPT II deficiency.Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
