| Article Title: | Anterior mediastinal mass in a pregnant patient: Anesthetic management and considerations |
| Abstract: | Patients with anterior mediastinal masses are recognized to be at risk for cardiorespiratory compromise when general anesthesia is induced.1,2 Likewise, pregnancy has a widely known constellation of potential complications that confront the anesthesiologist. The combination of both problems in a single patient presents an unusual anesthetic challenge. The following is a case report of a pregnant patient with a large, symptomatic anterior mediastinal mass who required general anesthesia for a diagnostic procedure before definitive therapy could be initiated. © 1989. |
