Abstract

SummaryDystrophic epidermolysis bullosa is an inherited severe bullous condition characterised by extreme skin fragility and blistering in response to minor trauma. We present two obstetric cases with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa, one who underwent elective caesarean section, the other who delivered vaginally. The key points in the anaesthetic management of the obstetric patient with dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa include multidisciplinary preassessment, airway management strategies and the role of regional anaesthesia.
