Anesthesia management of a parturient with severe pre eclampsia and history of cerebral venous thrombosis

Cerebral Venous thrombosis (CVT) is a common neurological complication seen in post-partum period. When such a patient presents for subsequent pregnancies the management can be quite challenging as they are on anticoagulants. Pregnancy being a hypercoagulable state can complicate the treatment. We present the management of a parturient who was a diagnosed case of CVT posted for elective caesarean section managed with subarachnoid block with no neurological complications in postoperative period.
