Abstract

Patients with spina bifida to become pregnant is rare condition in worlwide. A thorough examination and explanation of the patient in terms of obstetrics and anesthesia is essential at every step of the management of these patients. Both clinics need to work cooperatively. Data on these cases are scarce in the literature. Each experience brings a contribution to the literature. We present our approach in terms of anesthesia management of a case with neural tube defect who was delivered by cesarean section in a tertiary center.

Özet

Spina bifidalı hastaların gebe kalması dünya genelinde nadir bir durumdur. Bu hastalarda obstetri ve anestezi ekipleri arasında tam işbirliği, ayrıntılı hasta muayenesi ve gerekli açıklamaların iyi yapılması elzemdir. Bu olguda; hastanemizde elektif sezaryen planlanan nöral tüp defektli hastanın anestezi yönetimine yönelik yaklaşımımızı belirlemek için yaptığımız araştırmada, konu ile ilgili literatürün az sayıda olması nedeniyle benzer hastalar için her deneyimin bir katkı olabileceğini ve paylaşılması gerektiğini düşündük.
