Recurrent Bradycardia and Delayed Recovery in a Neonate Following Repair of Nasofrontal Encephalocoele with Holoprosencephaly and Single Cerebral Ventricle

Abstract: Holoprosencephaly and single cerebral ventricle are uncommon congenital anomalies that are associated with a high rate of perinatal mortality. We describe a neonate who developed recurrent bradycardia along with delayed recovery following frontal craniotomy for the repair of a nasofrontal encephalocoele associated with holoprosencephaly and a single cerebral ventricle. The neonate, however, recovered following elective ventilation. Etiopathogenesis and management of such complications are discussed.

“…Partial excision of viable brain matter [1], expansile cranioplasty without excision of brain [8] was been used by different authors to achieve good results. Intraoperatively, blood loss, hypothermia, bradycardia and cardiac arrest are well known complications [9,10,11]. Therefore patient should be monitored well intra-operatively to prevent such complication which may eventually lead to mortality.…”

“…These conditions can be termed massive encephalocele [6], large encephalocele [1,7] and giant encephalocele [2,3,4,5], which of course mean the same thing with similar challenges [1,2,4,7]. They pose a great challenge to the neurosurgeon, neuroradiologist and neuroanesthetist during surgery.…”
