EPIDURAL ANESTHESIA IN A PATIENT WITH LUNG APLASIA AND SKELETON DEFORMATION UNDERGOING ABDOMINAL HYSTERECTOMY: A CASE REPORT.

Pulmonary agenesis combined with other malformations of the skeleton and internal organs in humans is a rare pathology. The choice of method of anesthesia before surgery in this patient may be some difficulties and limitations. We report the successful completion of surgery under epidural anesthesia. Ultrasound-guided epidural anesthesia allowed to take into account individual anatomicalfeatures ofthe patient and to avoid complications. This case demonstrates the ability to safely conduct epidural anesthesia in patients with malformations of the skeleton and internal organs.
