[A case of early detection of a giant postoperative posterior fossa hematoma after tumor excision under xenon anaesthesia].
We report a case of a life-threatening postoperative posterior fossa hematoma whose early detection and successful removal become possible owing to rapid awakening after xenon anesthesia and thorough postoperative follow-up in the recovery room. Postoperative management of neurosurgical patients and perspectives of xenon anesthesia in neurosurgery are discussed.
