PURPOSE: To describe the anesthetic management of a parturient with a large acoustic neuroma undergoing general anesthesia with remifentanil for Cesarean section. CLINICAL FEATURES: A near-term parturient presented with a large intracranial mass. Cesarean section under general anesthesia was elected one week prior to craniotomy for tumour resection. Remifentanil infusion, 0.2-1.0 microg x kg(-1) x min(-1), was used from induction to emergence of general anesthesia. The neonate was born seven minutes after the remifentanil infusion was started. She had normal umbilical cord pH and her Apgar scores were 7 and 8, at one and five minutes respectively. Although the neonate received supplemental oxygen, she did not require naloxone. Both mother and neonate made an uneventful recovery. CONCLUSION: Remifentanil was effective in producing stable hemodynamic conditions, without severe neonatal respiratory depression, during induction and maintenance of general anesthesia for a Cesarean delivery in a parturient with a large intracranial tumour.
