Abstract

Use of neuraxial block in a patient with severe kyphoscoliosis is controversial. It is believed that severe kyphoscoliosis is a contraindication to neuraxial anesthesia. In this article, we describe two cases of successful epidural anesthesia in pregnant women with severe kyphoscoliosis. We suggest that a pregnant with severe kyphoscoliosis may be successfully managed by epidural anaesthesia for caesarean section.
