Achondroplasia is a genetic condition characterized by skeletal dysplasia that results in characteristic craniofacial and spinal abnormalities. It is the most common form of short-limbed skeletal dysplasia. A morbidly obese pregnant patient warrants specific anatomical and physiological considerations, such as a difficult airway with potential hypoxia, full stomach precautions, and a reduced functional residual capacity. Achondroplasia increases the risks of maternal and fetal complications. Although neuraxial techniques are generally preferred for cesarean sections, there is no consensus among patients with achondroplasia. We aimed to discuss the anesthetic challenges in an achondroplastic patient and report our regional anesthesia approach for an elective cesarean section.
