Uncorrected Tetralogy of Fallot's: Anesthetic Challenges.

Tetrology of Fallot's (TOF) is the most common cause of cyanotic congenital heart disease, and accounts for 10% of all congenital heart diseases. Right to left shunting and hyperviscosity of blood predisposes these patients to brain abscess. Perioperative management of these patients with uncorrected TOF for noncardiac surgery is a challenge for the anesthesiologists owing to the long-term effects of hypoxia and decreased pulmonary blood flow, resulting in considerable modification of the physiology and neurological complications. We are hereby reporting the anaesthetic management of an 8 year old child with uncorrected TOF presenting with multiple brain abscesses who underwent craniotomy with uneventful recovery.
