Postoperative pain relief is still quite actual problem in medicine, particularly in obstetrics and gynaecology. The most appropriate method of adequate post-operative anesthesia is multimodal analgesia. This article describes the features of multimodal analgesia using TAP-block combined with NSAIDs in obstetric and gynaecological patients, advantages and disadvantages of this combination and our own experience of applying this method in our clinic.

The problem of acute postoperative pain is present throughout the lifetime of surgery and, unfortunately, does not lose its relevance today. Inadequate pain control in the postoperative period leads to negative consequences. Multimodal analgesia is currently the method of choice for postoperative anesthesia. The basis is the prescription of paracetamol (Infulgan®) in combination or without NSAIDs with the addition of methods of regional analgesia and, in case of insufficient effect, the use of opioid analgesics lies in the basisi of this method. Choosing one or another scheme of multimodal analgesia is determined, above all, is due to the invasiveness of the surgical intervention performed.

We want to present the clinical case of a female patient with the asymptomatic Chiari I type malformation, without surgical correction and with concomitant epilepsy who underwent planned C-section under epidural anesthesia. A 29-year old pregnant women on the 39 week of pregnancy entered the maternity hospital for the delivery. It was decided to conduct a planned caesarean section. The epidural anesthesia with 0.75 % solution of the ropivacaine was chosen as the method of anesthesia. The patient did not receive antiepileptic treatment due to her implacable refusal. She underwent surgery and anesthesia well. On the third day after surgery, the patient suffered of a convulsive as sault, which was stopped by intravenous administration of diazepam. This article briefly describes the genetic background, classification, clinical manifestations and treatment tactics for patients with Chiari malformation and the features of C-section anesthesia in pregnant women with this pathology.
