Debido a la escoliosis y retardo mental de las pacientes la anestesia neuroaxial era técnicamente muy difícil, optándose por una anestesia general. Se administra propol endovenoso para la inducción e isoflurane para el mantenimiento. En ambos casos de obtienen productos sanos con buena puntuación de Apgar y sin complicaciones maternas ni neonatales.
