AbstractThis case report concerns a successful Cesarean section (C/S) delivery in an expectant woman affected with progressive systemic sclerosis (PSS) with clinical manifestations of severe pulmonary hypertension (PH), cor pulmonale, severely restrictive ventilatory impairment, pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH), and esophageal dysfunction under general anesthesia (GA). This is an extremely rare condition in obstetrics and the victim is usually in a great peril of conception, delivery, surgery and anesthesia because of poor pulmonary and cardiac reserves. We herewith reported our experience in two GAs given uniquely to the same patient who was affected with the disorder and discuss the problem.
