Resumo(s)
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is an acute neurologic emergency. We report the case of a 48-year-old male with a massive SAH caused by a ruptured aneurysm of the vertebrobasilar transition. During an urgent craniotomy, due to an aneurysm re-rupture, adenosine was given for flow arrest but no sinus pause was observed. Esmolol was administered and strategies for cerebral protection were implemented. The surgeon was able to clip the aneurysm and the patient was discharged after 78 days without sequelae. The highest adenosine dose given did not result in an efficient cardiac pause. Atropine given one hour before could have contributed to this. This case highlights a successfully managed case of ruptured aneurysm with refractory adenosine-induced flow arrest.
