An obstetric patient with Gorlin syndrome, Meigs' syndrome and peripartum cardiomyopathy

Abstract

We describe a rare case of Gorlin syndrome with superimposed Meigs' syndrome, complicated by peripartum cardiomyopathy in a primiparous woman. The spectrum of conditions associated with Gorlin syndrome, the anaesthetic implications, and principles of peri-operative management of the three conditions are discussed.
