Anesthetic Management of Pregnant Patient With Undiagnosed Neurofibromatosis for Emergency Cesarean Section.

Neurofibromatosis type I is a genetic autosomal dominant disorder with multisystem involvement and is particularly challenging for the anesthesiologist in emergency surgery. The presence of neurofibromas can cause airway difficulty, make delivery of gases difficult, and blood pressure variations during general anesthesia. Regional anesthesia becomes challenging due to the presence of spinal and intracranial tumors, and in undiagnosed situations, it becomes tricky. This is a case report of anesthesia management in a pregnant patient with undiagnosed neurofibromatosis for an emergency cesarean section.
