Abstract

This is a case of a 30 year old female, with Pregnancy Induced Hypertension and history of psychiatric illness in the past, subsequently developed TCM in the intra-operative period. ECG showed subtle fresh changes. There were multiple stressors for our patient namely acute blood loss, spinal anaesthesia and history of psychiatric illness. The decision on the timing and mode of delivery should be guided by obstetrical reasons. A multidisciplinary team of cardiologists, obstetricians, neonatologists, and psychologists should be involved. This case highlights the importance of being extra vigilant in patients having psychiatric disorders undergoing any surgical procedure especially caesarean section.
