Anesthetic conduct in cesarean section in a parturient with unruptured intracranial aneurysm.

Background And Objectives: The anesthetic management of a parturient with unruptured intracranial aneurysm scheduled to undergo cesarean section is interesting, since it has several particularities associated with pregnancy-related physiologic changes that are associated with the risk of aneurismal rupture during the anesthetic procedure. Studies on this subject are rare in the literature and, therefore, the dissemination of those cases is important.

Case Report: This is a 31-year old female at term with unruptured intracranial aneurysm scheduled for cesarean section under epidural block.
