    Abstract:
    Von Willebrand disease is the most common inherited bleeding disorder. No consensus exists about the use of neuraxial analgesia or anesthesia in patients with von Willebrand disease. We report on a 38-year-old multiparous woman who presented at 36 weeks' of gestation with spontaneous rupture of membranes for urgent cesarean delivery. Preoperative coagulation tests were normal except for prolonged platelet adhesion and aggregation tests. The cesarean delivery was performed under spinal anesthesia with hyperbaric bupivacaine, fentanyl and morphine sulfate. Desmopressin was administered immediately after delivery. No perioperative complications were observed.
