AbstractRecessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa is inherited as a rare autosomal disorder which causes blisters to form in the skin. We describe the treatment of a 39-year-old parturient with this condition. She was scheduled for elective cesarean section at 37 weeks' gestation. The patient had widespread skin lesions, had lost fingers, and had esophageal stenosis. The cesarean was performed under spinal anesthesia without complications. Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa requires adaptation of anesthetic technique that includes control over posture and careful handling of the skin. Material for attaching monitoring devices and inserting venous lines must be adapted to the particular deformities and skin lesions present.
