Abstract
Kyphoscoliosis is a well-known spinal deformity. The abnormal curvature in both the coronal and sagittal planes presents unique challenges during pregnancy. This case discusses the management of a 27-year-old primigravida with thoracolumbar kyphoscoliosis, who underwent an emergency cesarean section at 39.3 weeks of gestation. An interdisciplinary team consisting of an obstetrician, pulmonologist, orthopedic surgeon, anesthesiologist, and physiotherapist collaborated in her care. In such cases, successful outcomes require a tailored approach that prioritizes maternal-fetal well-being and minimizes potential complications associated with complex spinal deformity during pregnancy and childbirth.
