Abstract:
Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) is characterized by acute and usually severe headache related to multifocal vasoconstriction of cerebral arteries, reversible within 3 months. About 10% of RCVS are pregnancy-related, but only three cases of antepartum RCVS have been described. We report the case of a 26-year-old pregnant woman who presented at 36 weeks gestation with antepartum RCVS. Delivery was managed by cesarean section under general anesthesia. Though she developed focal neurologic deficits on the first postoperative day, these resolved at hospital discharge. This case highlights pre- and post-partum multidisciplinary management including cesarean section under general anesthesia.

Anesthesia Induction and Maintenance
The Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals ("The Guide") states that pain assessment and alleviation are integral components of the veterinary care of laboratory animals.1 The definition of anesthesia is the loss of feeling or sensation. It is a dynamic event involving changes in anesthetic depth with respect to an animal's metabolism, surgical stimulation, or variations...
