Popis: Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare disorder of bone fragility caused by mutations in the COL1A1/2 genes, which encode type I procollagen. It commonly manifests with bone fractures, joint dislocations, and easy bruising. OI patients presenting for surgery may pose multiple challenges to the anesthesiologist such as management of a potentially difficult airway and heightened positional fracture risks. We present a case detailing the spinal anesthetic management of a 28-year-old woman with type I OI requiring cesarean delivery for a 32-week intrauterine pregnancy with fetal cardiac anomalies.
