Abstract
Achondroplasia, also known as dwarfism, is a rare autosomal dominant disorder. We, hereby, describe the successful anaesthetic management of a 32-year-old female patient with a height of 90 cm and weighing 35 kg (body mass index of 43.2 kg/m2) posted for an elective caesarean section at 34 weeks 4 days of gestation. We emphasise the need for proper preoperative evaluation of the patient and anticipate difficult regional or general anaesthesia in these patients.
