Hemodynamically Compromising Cardiac Arrhythmia During Surgery for Acute Traumatic Brain Injury

Ventricular Fibrillation as an Uncommon Manifestation of Trigeminocardiac Reflex during Simultaneous Surgery for Aneurysmal Clipping and Trigeminal Schwannoma Resection

TCR in our patient probably occurred from surgical stimulation of trigeminal nerve as this event occurred during decompression of schwannoma and not during clipping.…”
