AbstractA 27-year-old primigravida patient with diastrophic dysplasia (DTD) presented to our obstetrics clinic at 8 weeks' gestational age. Diastrophic dysplasia is a rare, autosomal-recessive abnormality that presents multiple challenges to perinatal anesthetic management, including difficult airway management and relative contraindications to neuraxial anesthesia. The patient underwent elective cesarean delivery at 35 weeks' gestational age under general anesthesia. In this report, we describe our preoperative evaluation and management strategy that involved a multidisciplinary care team.
