Efek disfungsi tiroid bermanifestasi pada berbagai organ dan mungkin menimbulkan komplikasi pembedahan dan kehamilan. Seorang perempuan 37 tahun dengan hipotiroid akan menjalani seksio sesarea. Kadar tiroid timulating hormone (TSH): dan tiroksin (T4) adalah 14,87 µUI/mL dan 71 nmol/L. Pasien mendapat terapi levotiroksin selama 6 minggu. Pada pemeriksaan fisik, pasien dalam keadaan umum baik. Anestesia spinal dilakukan dengan bupivakain 0,5% 7,5 mg dan fentanyl 25 µg. Bayi lahir dengan skor Apgar 8/9, hemodinamik stabil selama operasi. Pasien pulang dari rumah sakit setelah hari ke tiga operasi. Pasien hipotiroid dapat mengalami komplikasi koma miksedema, gangguan respirasi, maupun hipotensi selama pembedahan. Pembedahan elektif sebaiknya ditunda sampai kondisi eutiroid. Anestesia spinal dosis rendah, monitoring adekuat, pencegahan hipotermia, pengurangan opioid, dan terapi levotiroksin perioperatif dibutuhkan untuk mencegah komplikasi jika kondisi eutiroid belum tercapai. Sebagai kesimpulan anestesia spinal dapat dilakukan pada pasien hipotiroid yang menjalani seksio sesarea.
