Abstract
We report a case of 26 years parturient, with GBS manifested by psychiatric illness scheduled for hysterotomy. Our case is unique in a way that we managed her post-operative pain with TAP (transversus abdominis plane) block using ropivacaine, a long-acting amide local anesthetic with a potentially improved safety profile when compared to bupivacaine, as the literature showing the significance of TAP block in such patients in scanty. GBS with psychiatric illness made her anesthetic management, a challenge for us.
