Hyperthyroidism is a rare cause of hypertension during pregnancy with potentially fatal consequences. It should be detected and treated early in pregnancy so as to prevent maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Management requires multidisciplinary approach between the obstetrician, anesthesiologist, pediatrician, and the endocrinologist. Intraoperative and postoperative management for an emergency cesarean section in a parturient with untreated hyperthyroidism are really risky affair. In this case report, we present anesthetic management in such complicated case with ventricular tachycardia with successful maternal and fetal outcome.
