Anesthetic Management and Considerations in a Rare Case of Parietal Bone Hemangioma

Nicholas Koenig et al. Cureus. .

Abstract

Parietal bone hemangiomas represent a minority of diagnosed brain tumors. These lesions require careful management under anesthesia due to their vascularity and cranial location. We discuss a 31-year-old female with chronic headaches who underwent surgery for the removal of a large parietal bone hemangioma, necessitating considerations for stable hemodynamics, intracranial pressure (ICP), and bleeding risks. There is no standard anesthetic for these cases, so a mixed anesthetic approach was used, combining intravenous anesthesia with sevoflurane, aimed at optimizing control during the procedure.

Keywords: anesthetic considerations; neuroanesthesia; parietal bone hemangiomas; total intravenous anesthetic; volatile anesthetic.
