Anesthetic management in a patient with Arnold‐Chiari malformation type 1,5: A case report

Abstract

Abstract A 42‐year‐old male patient with Arnold‐Chiari malformation type 1,5 (ACM‐1,5) came to implant a hip prosthesis. He underwent a previous general anesthesia, with difficult airway management and complication in awakening. In this second surgery, an extradural approach was preferred to keep intracranial pressure and hemodynamics stable.
