Abstract

Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) is a cluster of tumors which often had a lethal outcome in the past. As the years have passed, with better understanding of the pathophysiology fatalities have reduced and patients have been cured. On an anesthetic stand point these cases can be challenging to manage due to the emergency nature of the surgery and various systemic complications they may present with. We present to you a case of a 29-year-old female with molar pregnancy managed by spinal anesthesia.
