Abstract

Electrocardiographic (ECG) abnormalities are commonly observed in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and patients and are linked to worse outcomes. This case report documents the rapid normalization of severe ECG abnormalities following general anesthesia induction in a high-risk SAH patient with hyperthyroid heart disease. We report an 81-year-old woman with Fisher grade IV SAH and hyperthyroidism-associated cardiomyopathy who presented obtunded (GCS 7) with refractory atrial fibrillation at 116 bpm, diffuse T-wave inversions, and elevated troponin I. Following a multidisciplinary discussion, an External Ventricular Drain (EVD) was placed under general anesthesia using fentanyl, propofol, and rocuronium. This resulted in the immediate restoration of sinus rhythm, resolution of repolarization changes, and stabilization of blood pressure. Despite comprehensive ICU management—including analgesia, sedation, osmotherapy, steroids, and diuretics—the patient’s condition deteriorated within 24 hours, developing refractory intracranial hypertension and leading to death. This case highlights the autonomic-modulating and antiarrhythmic properties of anaesthetic agents in SAH-related neurocardiogenic dysfunction and underscores the need for further research into optimal anaesthesia strategies and patient outcomes.

Abstract

Posterior fossa epidural hematoma (PFEDH) is a rare condition, accounting for only 0.1-0.3% of all traumatic brain injuries. Patients can rapidly deteriorate due to brainstem compression caused by bleeding in the posterior cranial fossa. Timely surgical intervention is critical, but currently, there is no consensus on the surgical indication and technical approach for pediatric PFEDH. Case Presentation: A five-year-old boy presented with occipital trauma, headache, vomiting, and altered consciousness after a fall from a 1-meter height. Primary survey was clear with a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score of E3M6V4 and slow pupillary reflexes while secondary examination revealed a 1x2 cm cephalhematoma over the right posterior fossa region. Head CT scan revealed a posterior fossa liquid epidural hematoma measuring 5.4 x 2.2 x 4cm with cerebellar displacement. The patient underwent a mini-craniectomy and recovered with a relatively short operative duration, minimal blood loss, and a short hospital stay without neurological deficits. Mini-craniectomy emerges as a viable and promising alternative procedure in the management of carefully selected pediatric PFEDH cases, particularly those that are liquid or of moderate volume, allowing for efficient evacuation with minimal surgical morbidity with a good prognostic outcome
