We present our experience in the anesthetic management of two parturients with pseudoxanthoma elasticum. The first had an epidural catheter inserted for labor analgesia and ultimately had a forceps delivery. The second had a cesarean section under epidural anesthesia and had a complicated postoperative course. There were no untoward effects of regional anesthesia in either of these two women. The anesthetic implications for parturients with pseudoxanthoma elasticum are discussed.
