    AbstractSpondylocostal dysostosis (SCD) is an inherited skeleton growth disorder characterized by abnormalities of the vertebrae and ribs. Individuals are susceptible to kyphoscoliosis and pulmonary complications, which may be exacerbated by respiratory physiologic changes in pregnancy. We present a case of a parturient with severe kyphoscoliosis and restrictive lung disease who received a modified rapid sequence induction and transabdominal plane blocks for cesarean delivery. Our case describes the safe administration of general anesthesia for cesarean delivery and reviews the anesthetic considerations for managing patients with SCD.Copyright © 2024 The Author(s).
