The case of 20-year-old pregnant patient who underwent a craniotomy under hypothermia is presented. She was four months pregnant and suffered from a subarachnoid haemorrhage. Hypothermia is viewed as a safe procedure for this kind of situation, conducive of high foetal and maternal survival rates. It is stressed that severe acidosis ans hypoxia during hypothermia may be the cause of a high incidence of spontaneous abortion. The technique must be reserved for anaesthetists who have considerable experience with hypothermia and its application.
