This case report describes the first known application of an epidural block for labor analgesia in a patient with Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome (MRS), a rare disorder that may present sudden and threatening airway complications. A tailored epidural protocol effectively mitigated symptom exacerbation, facilitating a complication-free vaginal delivery. This report not only enriches the sparse literature on anesthesia in patients with MRS but also provides a crucial review of perioperative considerations for administering either general or regional anesthesia in similar cases.
本病例报告描述了首次已知的在患有梅尔克森-罗森塔尔综合征(MRS)的患者中应用硬膜外阻滞进行分娩镇痛的情况,MRS是一种罕见疾病,可能出现突发且危及气道的并发症。一种定制的硬膜外方案有效地减轻了症状加重,促成了无并发症的阴道分娩。本报告不仅丰富了关于MRS患者麻醉的稀少文献,还为类似病例实施全身麻醉或区域麻醉的围手术期注意事项提供了重要综述。
