Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is characterized by bone fragility, defects in the teeth, blue sclera, and deficits in hearing and vision [1,2]. Because of an anticipated difficult airway and back anatomy, there is a high risk of choosing either general or spinal anesthesia, especially in critically ill obstetric patients. It is still controversy about the anesthesia method in patients with OI. Ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane block (TAPB) has been used for analgesia after cesarean section, but rarely for anesthesia in this operation [3-5]. We describe a critically parturient with OI who underwent cesarean section under ultrasound guided TAPB with spontaneous breathing general anesthesia. The patient's vital signs have remained stable during the operation, and a live female infant was delivered successfully by cesarean section. The mother and daughter were safe at last. Written informed consent was provided by the patient for publication of this report with photos.created.
