We present our experience in the anesthetic management of two parturients with pseudoxanthoma elasticum. The first had an epidural catheter inserted for labor analgesia and ultimately had a forceps delivery. The second had a cesarean section under epidural anesthesia and had a complicated postoperative course. There were no untoward effects of regional anesthesia in either of these two women. The anesthetic implications for parturients with pseudoxanthoma elasticum are discussed.

We present the first report of epidural analgesia in a parturient with pseudoxanthoma elasticum. This rare inherited disorder of elastic tissue is characterised by skin changes but also has multi-system manifestations. The consequences of pseudoxanthoma elasticum for the obstetric anaesthetist are reviewed. This case highlights the importance of antenatal anaesthetic referral for patients with multi-system disease.
