Anesthetic Management of an Obstetric Patient With Ehlers-Danlos and Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndromes.

A 31-year-old, primigravida, nullipara (G1P0) female with a past medical history of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), newly diagnosed Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome (WPW), and fetal breech presentation initially presented at 36+5 weeks gestation for an external cephalic version (ECV).
