Abstract

Early Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) in neurosurgery is a promising and developing concept directed to enhance postoperative recovery for neurosurgical patient. ERAS application to supratentorial brain tumor patient’s will provide advantage of early functional recovery and shorter length of stay. We reported a successful anesthetic management for a 45-year-old woman, diagnosed with a left frontotemporal extra axial tumor, suspected left parasagittal meningioma. Preoperative, patient was fully conscious but complained occasional headache and blurred vision with normal hemodynamic parameters. We performed general anesthesia with additional scalp block for this patient to facilitate the surgery, which lasted 3 hours 20 minutes. The surgery went uneventful with a stable hemodynamic, patient was extubated in the operating theatre and monitored in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). After two days in the ICU, we transferred the patient to the ward. She was discharged on the fifth day and controlled as an outpatient care. Perioperative management of patients with supratentorial tumor whom undergo craniotomy for tumor removal could be performed to facilitate early recovery. Appropriate multidisciplinary management in the preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative periods, with regard to the underlying disease, is important to successfully perform the ERAS.
