Abstract

Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (WPW) is an uncommon cardiac disorder having an aberrant pathway between atria and ventricles. We are reporting a known case of WPW syndrome for hysterectomy under combined spinal epidural anaesthesia. Management of the present case is an important pearl to revisit management of WPW syndrome. The perioperative management should be tailored according to the nature of surgery and the clinical presentation of the patient.

Keywords: Combined spinal epidural block; Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome; re-entral phenomenon; regional anaesthesia
