AbstractWe present an emergency anesthetic management of craniotomy for a 22-year-old man with congenital cyanotic heart disease due to brain abscess. Pulmonary blood flow was completely supplied via major arteriopulmonay collatelal artery (MAPCA). This patient complicated with Eisenmenger syndrome, has no history of cardiac surgery but several times of craniotomy due to repeated brain abscess. Total intravenous anesthesia with propofol and remifentanil was induced and maintained. SpO2 and PaO2 were elevated after oxygen administration via mask. Although systemic blood pressure level was decreased by anesthesia and continuous infusion of vasopressors was required. Oxygenation parameters were unchanged. This indicates that blood flow through MAPCA did not respond to changes in of respiratory and circulatory circumstances during anesthesia.
