| Description | Background: The aim of anaesthetic management for appendectomy in a patient with cerebral arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is to maintain a stable cardiovascular system. As this condition is rare, there are no definitive guidelines regarding the anaesthetic management of such patients. Case report: We report a case of appendectomy in a patient with cerebral AVM. The patient was diagnosed with cerebral AVM four years prior to presentation with acute appendicitis and was advised surgical intervention, which he refused. Management of this patient presenting with acute appendicitis is discussed. Conclusion: General anaesthesia may be used successfully for appendectomy in a patient with cerebral AVM if haemodynamic fluctuations at times of stress are minimised. | |
