We aimed to present the assessment of the Cushing reflex caused by intracranial haemorrhagia developing during mechanical thrombectomy in a case presenting with acute ischemic stroke. A 59-year old male patient was scanned by CT angio due to speaking disorder and right lateral weakness developing 5 hours earlier. Acute infarction was observed in the left MCA irrigation area with M1 segment occlusion observed in the left MCA. The decision was made to treat the patient with mechanical thrombectomy and he was transferred to the interventional neuroradiology unit. Under general anesthesia during navigation of the thromboaspiration catheter to the clot localization as the procedure was technically advancing routinely, with sudden development of bradycardia and hypertension the anesthesiology team was warned and 1 mg IV atropine was administered for bradycardia. Acute infarction has to be removed because it is understood as mechanical thrombectomy has been performed to a patient with an infarction. Simultaneously contrast material injection through the guide catheter showed the MCA M1 segment had ruptured and extravasation had developed. As conclusion, anesthesia and operation team must be alert for vessel perforation when Cushing triad develops during navigation of the thromboaspiration catheter.

Amac: Biz bu calismada, opere edilen meningosel ve miyelomeningosel olgularina eslik eden komorbid durumlari ve bunlarin gebelikte kullanilan folik asitle iliskisini incelemeyi amacladik. Materyal ve Metot: Meningosel ve myelomeningosel tanisiyla opere edilen 81 yenidogan bu calismaya dahil edildi. Hasta dosyalari retrospektif olarak taranarak olgularin veriler kaydedildi. Olgular, gebelik doneminde folik asit kullanan ve kullanmayan grup olarak ikiye ayrildi. Iki grup arasinda yenidoganlarin agirlik, boy, hemogram, biyokimya, tani zamani, dogum sekli, maturite, lokalizasyon, tip, norolojik defisit, skolyoz, hidrosefali, cerrahi zamani, ventrikulomegali, tedavi sekli, ek patoloji, tetheredcord sendromu, dermal sinus trakti, maternal hastalik birlikteligi ve BOS fistulu gibi malformasyonlarin sayisi, karsilastirildi. Bulgular: Antenatal donemde folik asit kullanimi %44,4 olarak saptandi. Meningomiyelosel %40,7 lomber, ve %46,9 sakral bolgedeydi. Erken tanili yenidoganlarda (
