We describe the management of a 25‐year‐old primigravida with severe respiratory insufficiency secondary to Charcot‐Marie‐Tooth disease type I scheduled for Caesarean section. Incremental subarachnoid anaesthesia via a microcatheter was utilised. Mother and baby made an uneventful recovery and were discharged home on the tenth postoperative day.
