Multiple gestation pregnancies are accompanied with risks for both mother and fetuses. Morbidity and mortality of both of them are increased compared with singleton pregnancies. We have presented a case of a 30-year-old parturient with quadruplets. The pregnancy had been complicated by premature labour, anemia, toxemia, coagulopathy, pulmonary congestion and malpresentation. On the 29th week of pregnancy, an elective Caesarean section was scheduled. There is no ideal anesthetic technique for quadruplets. In this case general anesthesia was chosen, because she had coagulopathy. The anesthesia and postoperative course were uneventful. The patient and the four babies had no complication nor sequela on their discharge. The anesthetic considerations for multiple gestation pregnancies were also discussed.
