“…Our parturients had no history of cerebral hemangioma, paresis or other neurological manifestations except for pain crisis of the affected limb. We agree with the authors that documented back angiomas, hemiparesis and total absence of spine imaging should discourage the use of neuroaxial blocks but two points are still not clear in the case presented 1 : why not use neuroaxial block as in the two previous caesarean sections? Why despite abdominal angiotomography being available is there no information about lumbar spine?…”

“…We read with interest the case reported by de Avelar Texeira et al 1 Safe anesthesia management for deliveries complicated by Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome (KTS) is challenging for potential difficult airway management owing to the soft tissue hypertrophy and possible undetected hemangiomas, hemorrhagic complications as result of pelvic varicosities injured during surgery, presence of neuraxial vascular malformation.…”

“…A la actualidad, no se han establecido estrategias en el manejo anestésico de los pacientes con KTS sometidos a cirugía, en especial en mujeres embarazadas [10], [11]. Aunque la anestesia neuraxial es la más indicada y tiene innegables ventajas sobre la anestesia general en mujeres embarazadas sometidas a procedimientos obstétricos, en el presente caso se evitó el bloqueo espinal como técnica anestésica y se prefirió el manejo con anestesia general debido a la falta de información por parte de la paciente, pues dado a la escasez de recursos en términos de imagenología, el grupo tratante no tenía claridad de la presencia de malformaciones de vasos a nivel de la espalda, médula espinal, vasos uterinos y abdominales.…”

“…En lo que sí se tiene claridad es que para que el éxito en el manejo de pacientes con este síndrome debe existir un equipo multidisciplinar compuesto por el ginecólogo, el anestesiólogo y el cirujano vascular o el hematólogo. Se recomienda realizar exámenes periódicos de imagen y coagulación para evaluar la evolución de las malformaciones vasculares en la pelvis, el útero y la vagina e identificar posibles alteraciones neuroaxiales, para orientar la mejor y más segura forma de parto y técnica anestésica para estas pacientes [11].…”

“…Initially, we are grateful for the appreciation of our study. 1 Although spinal block is the gold standard technique for obstetric anesthesia, in the case described by Avelar Teixeira et al 1 it was decided to perform general anesthesia as justified and described in the discussion section of that article: the patient had Klippel–Trenaunay syndrome (TTS), with a previous history of two anterior cesarean sections under spinal anesthesia with severe bleeding and hemodynamic instability, which required blood transfusion. At clinical examination, she presented with cutaneous hemangiomas mainly in the trunk and lumbar region and no imaging exam had been performed to evaluate the neural axis that could rule out the presence of vascular malformations in this region.…”
