Abstract
•Patients with severe osteogenesis imperfecta are mostly delivered by cesarean section.•Both general and neuraxial techniques have been successful for cesarean anesthesia.•Individual patient characteristics should be used to determine mode of anesthesia.
Osteogenesis imperfecta is a congenital disorder resulting in multiple fractures and extremely short stature, usually necessitating cesarean delivery. Identical twins with severe osteogenesis imperfecta each of whom underwent a cesarean delivery with different anesthetic modalities are presented. A review of the literature and anesthetic options for cesarean delivery and postoperative analgesia for women with osteogenesis imperfecta are discussed.
