Parturients with kyphoscoliosis present a unique challenge during their anaesthetic management. The physiologic changes of pregnancy along with the gravid uterus compound the cardiopulmonary compromise induced by deformity of spine, and further, the technical difficulty to perform subarachnoid block may add to the difficulty in management of patients.
