Abstract
Ebstein's anomaly is a rare congenital malformation of the tricuspid valve, often associated with an atrial septal defect. Death occurs usually from cardiac arrhythmias. The successful use of a two-catheter technique for elective Caesarean section with extradural analgesia is described and the hazards associated with Ebstein's anomaly in pregnancy and anaesthesia are discussed.Keywords
