Cardiac diseases associated with pregnancy pose as a major risk factor for both mother and foetus and make anaesthetic management challenging in such cases, leading to severe mortality and morbidity. We present a rare case of a severe isolated pulmonary stenosis, diagnosed in routine antepartum checkup coming for an elective caesarean section.
