Having body mass index more than 29 is described as obesity in pregnancy. Anesthesia management in these patients has always been challenging. A 41-year-old woman, at 37weeks’ gestation with the weight of 200kg and body mass index of 66/05 was admitted with complaint of pain to Al-Zahra Hospital in Rasht. She reported a history of two previous caesarean sections and high blood sugar and hypothyroidism which were under control by drugs. The Anesthesiology team decided to choose Continuous Spinal Anesthesia method for her. After performing anesthesia, cesarean delivery was done and a female neonate was born with Apgar score of 5-9. They were discharged from the hospital in good condition after two days. Based on the results of this study, CSA approach is a suitable method for anesthesia management in cesarean section of obese patients. Also it is necessary to recommend these patients to refer to anesthesia counseling clinics before giving birth.
