[Anesthesia for cesarean section in a patient with Ebstein's anomaly].

A 30-year-old woman with Ebstein's anomaly was scheduled for Cesarean section at 38 week gestation because of latent fetal distress. After arterial and central venous catheters were inserted, general anesthesia was started. Anesthesia was induced smoothly and rapidly through intravenous route. Following induction, her hemodynamics was stable until post-operative period. The baby weighed 1564g and had an Apgar score of 8 at 1 minute. A patient with Ebstein's anomaly during pregnancy and anesthesia has potential for a variety of hemodynamic disturbances. This case illustrates the importance of careful attention to the preoperative findings and the perioperative hemodynamic parameters.
