Osteogenesis Imperfect (OI) (Brittle Bones Disease) is the most common hereditary connective tissue disease. The main clinical forms of OI are quantitative and qualitative anomalies of type I collagen, the most common protein in bones [8]. In modern literature, cases of successful delivery of patients with imperfect osteogenesis are described, however this disease is considered a contraindication to pregnancy, and when it is advised, an artificial interruption is recommended. Such tactic is associated with the occurrence of a significant number of complications, during pregnancy and delivery, sometimes fatal for both the mother and the fetus [8]. Caesarean section is conducted more often in such patients due to maternal pelvic deformity, cephalopelvic disproportion, abnormal fetal position variants [1,8]. In literature, there are few cases of an anesthetic aid for Cesarean Section (CS) in patients with OI (types 3-4). The clinical observation that is presented, describes features of labor management of a patient with OI type IV.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
