Manajemen Anestesi Reseksi Tumor Cerebello-pontine Angle Vestibular Schwannoma dengan Posisi Lateral

Abstract

Cerebellopontine angle (CPA) tumors are the most common neoplasms in the posterior fossa, accounting for 5-10% of intracranial tumors. Most CPA tumors are benign, with over 85% being vestibular schwannoma (acoustic neuromas). The preferred treatment for symptomatic vestibular schwannoma has been surgical excision. Craniotomy for vestibular schwannoma resections in lateral position gave better surgical field exposure, but also posed increased risk of ventilation-perfusion mismatch and atelectasis of the dependent lung in lengthy surgery. A 25 years old woman, with loss of hearing function, disturbed sense of balance, left hemiplegia, difficulties to swallow, on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination had solid lesion in the cerebello-pontine angle size 5,6 cm x 5 cm x 4.5 cm which is diagnosed as Cerebello-pontine angle vestibular schwannoma sinistra. Patient underwent surgical resection in right lateral position under general anesthesia and the surgical resection performed in 6 hour 40 minutes. The goals of anesthetic management in vestibular schwannoma tumor resection are to facilitate ideal surgical condition and provide brain protection by maintaining cerebral perfusion pressure, avoid hemodynamic instability, enable intraoperative neuro-monitoring and ensure the early detection and prompt management of potential complications.
