Abstract EN

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is an inherited disorder of the connective tissues caused by abnormalities in collagen formation.

OI may present many challenges to the anesthesiologist.

A literature review reveals a wide range of implications, from basic positioning to management of the difficult airway.

We present the anesthetic management of a 25-year-old gravid woman with OI, fetal demise, and possible uterine rupture, admitted for an exploratory laparotomy.
