For a parturient with breech presentation, an external cephalic version is sometimes done to enable vaginal delivery. Usually external cephalic version has been done without anesthesiologist's management. However there have been several reports indicating a benefit of anesthesia for external cephalic version. We report successful case of external cephalic version under combined spinal-epidural anesthesia followed by vaginal delivery.
