Abstract

Gaucher, the most common form of lysosomal storage diseases, is caused by an inherited deficiency of the beta-glucocerebrosidase enzyme. Gaucher disease may present a challenge to the anesthesiologist because of abnormal coagulation and multiorgan disease in obstetric situations. These factors may affect choice of anesthesia type. We aimed to report the diverse anesthetic management of Gaucher Disease depending on patient’s characteristics in two different cases.
