Refractory Seizures Following Encephalocoele Surgery
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
Encephalocele, midline defect of cranial bone fusion, occurs most frequently in the occipital region. Airway management in pediatric patients poses many challenges to the anesthesiologist. The purpose of this study is to describe the airway problems encountered for such cases, how these problems were managed and also to bring into light a rare encountered unreported problem of perioperative refractory seizures. Comprehensive care during peroperative period is essential for successful outcome. Keywords: Anesthesia, difficult intubation, refractory seizures, occipital encephalocele
