Anesthesia management in a pediatric patient with craniopharyngioma
Craniopharyngiomas are the most common sellar or suprasellar tumors in childhood. The most critical issue in neuro anesthesia is to ensure adequate cerebral perfusion pressure and appropriate surgical conditions without disturbing the autoregulation of the cerebral circulation. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of anesthetic management in successful craniopharyngioma surgery in pediatric patients. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of anesthetic management in successful craniopharyngioma surgery in pediatric patients. Transsphenoidal pituitary surgery was planned. The patient, who had no intraoperative complications, was extubated postoperatively and transferred to the intensive care unit for close monitoring. Non-invasive monitoring (pulse oximetry, ECG, blood pressure, and temperature monitoring) was performed. A precordial USG was prepared to detect air embolism. Moderate hypothermia of 34-36°C was achieved. The patient, who had no intraoperative complications, was extubated postoperatively and transferred to the intensive care unit for close monitoring. The goals of anesthesia for transsphenoidal pituitary surgery include optimizing cerebral oxygenation, maintaining hemodynamic stability, managing intraoperative complications, and facilitating a rapid and smooth recovery.
