Blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome (BRBNS) is characterized by typical bluish, soft, and compressible lesions with rubber-like consistency present since birth. In this syndrome, venous malformation (VM) is always present since birth and is commonly found in the cheek, tongue, lip and jaw, and sometimes may be present in deep tissue, bone, or muscle. A vascular malformation is known to grow in size throughout the life of an individual with sudden enlargement in size during puberty and pregnancy due to hormonal changes. We report the successful management of a case of congenital VM of the lip and mandible posted for emergency cesarean section under spinal anesthesia.
