Abstract

This case report describes the perioperative management of a child presenting with acute intestinal obstruction secondary to bowel malrotation after a recent intracranial haemorrhage associated with an intracranial arteriovenous malformation. We discuss the anaesthesia planning for this case, where the 'optimal' management strategies for the two conditions present are potentially conflicting. Issues include rapid sequence induction in the presence of a ruptured arteriovenous malformation, maintenance of cerebral perfusion pressure in the face of bowel ischaemia, and the use of epidural anaesthesia in a child with recent intracranial haemorrhage. Written consent was obtained from the patient and parents to publish this case. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
