Abstract: The incidence of rheumatic mitral stenosis has grossly decreased in India. Still, among heart diseases complicating pregnancy, rheumatic mitral stenosis occupies a greater segment. The unique physiological changes in pregnancy and the pathological impact of mitral stenosis over pregnancy and labour are discussed in detail. A multidisciplinary approach in the diagnosis and management reduces the mortality and morbidity during peripartum. The anasesthesia management used in a case of an emergency LSCS in a patient with severe MS is discussed at length in this article.
