Abstract
Acute fatty liver of pregnancy is one of the most common causes of fulminant hepatic failure. A 28-year-old G3P1L1A1 presented at 37 weeks with diagnosis of acute fatty liver of pregnancy with grade 3 hepatic encephalopathy. Laboratory findings were suggestive of coagulopathy, metabolic acidosis, and liver and renal dysfunction. Ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane block with ilioinguinal-iliohypogastric nerve block is widely used for postoperative analgesia. We applied these blocks, supplemented with intravenous ketamine for breakthrough visceral pain, to conduct cesarean delivery with a favorable outcome. Thus, transversus abdominis plane with ilioinguinal-iliohypogastric is a viable alternative in patients where general and neuraxial anesthesia is unsafe.
