Abstract
Background: Congenital heart anomalies pose challenges during anaesthesia with its associated morbidities; Cor-triatriatum dexter may be associated with other heart anomalies which subject the patient to increased risks.
Case Presentation: We here-in report the case of a 30 yr old woman that had cor-triatriatum dexter with associated multiple atrial septal defects, rheumatic valvular heart disease, pulmonary hypertension and associated ventricular dysfunction that had total abdominal hysterectomy under graded epidural anaesthesia.
Conclusion: High risk patients with multiple congenital anomalies may undergo anaesthesia with careful choice of anaesthesia technique
