Background:
Dysfibrinogenemia causes abnormal fibrinogen production, leading to thrombotic or bleeding complications, which are relative contraindications for neuraxial anesthesia. Neuraxial anesthesia is recommended for cesarean delivery to reduce maternal and neonatal morbidity.
Case Presentation:
We report a 39-year-old gravida 2, para 0 woman with dysfibrinogenemia who safely underwent spinal anesthesia, as assessed using thromboelastography, for an urgent cesarean delivery.
Conclusions:
Thromboelastography can aid the anesthesia team in evaluating the risks versus benefits of neuraxial anesthesia in patients with hereditary dysfibrinogenemia.
