%X This case report describes the first known application of an epidural block for labor analgesia in a patient with Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome (MRS), a rare disorder that may present sudden and threatening airway complications. A tailored epidural protocol effectively mitigated symptom exacerbation, facilitating a complication-free vaginal delivery. This report not only enriches the sparse literature on anesthesia in patients with MRS but also provides a crucial review of perioperative considerations for administering either general or regional anesthesia in similar cases.
