title: [Risk management for neurosurgical anesthesia].
abstract: Even a trivial increase in intracranial pressure is likely to induce cerebral ischemia, hernia, and neurogenic pulmonary edema in patients with intracranial hypertension. In this article, I have described several issues that are essential for safe perioperative management in patients undergoing neurosurgical procedures for treatment of subarachonoid hemorrhage, and intracerebral and subdural hematoma, as well as relevant information on basic physiology and pathology of the brain.
