We describe the management of a parturient with severe primary pulmonary hypertension who underwent caesarean section. A multi-disciplinary approach was used. She was admitted to the intensive care unit perioperatively for invasive monitoring and trial of inhaled nitric oxide. Anaesthesia was provided by combined spinal-epidural block. We discuss controversies about the management of obstetric patients with this rare and serious condition.
