Manajemen Perioperative pada Pasien Tumor Craniopharygioma

Abstract

Craniopharyngiomas are benign histological brain tumors originating less frequently from
embryonic pituitary gland tissue that are seen most frequently in children between the ages of 5
and 10 years. In this case report we present a 25-year-old patient with a craniopharyngioma
tumor. Patients with decreased consciousness since 4 months before admission to the hospital,
which started with memory loss that was getting worse and more difficult to communicate. The
patient was diagnosed with a brain tumor and underwent surgery for tumor therapy in 2018. The
procedure was performed using a transcranial approach. Considerations for preoperative
anesthesia should include evaluation of radiological features to identify tumor mass and
preoperative neurologic status. Other examinations of concern include examination of blood gas
analysis and examination of electrolytes. The goals of treatment can be to remove the tumor,
reduce or control the size of the tumor.
