摘要

Background

To analyze the clinical characteristics of patients with complex skull base lesions involving both intracranial and extracranial regions and summarize the anesthetic management experience for combined neurosurgical and oral-maxillofacial procedures under a single anesthesia session.

Case presentation

Medical records of patients who underwent combined neurosurgical and oral-maxillofacial surgery at Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University, between April 1, 2020, and April 1, 2025, were retrospectively reviewed. Clinical data, multidisciplinary treatment, anesthetic management, and outcomes were analyzed. Six patients underwent multidisciplinary consultation before surgery, using a combination of static and inhalation anesthesia. Three (50%) cases were intubated through nasal endotracheal intubation, two (33.3%) cases were intubated through tracheal intubation, and one (16.7%) case was intubated through tracheostomy after anesthesia. All 6 patients were admitted to the ICU with endotracheal intubation or tracheostomy tube after surgery. 5 (83.3%) patients recovered well and were discharged, while 1 (16.7%) patient died.

Conclusion

Complex skull base lesions with intracranial and extracranial involvement are rare but may lead to severe complications if not promptly managed [1]. Multidisciplinary collaboration among neurosurgery, oral-maxillofacial surgery, anesthesiology, and neurophysiology teams is critical. Anesthesia management should not only be limited to intraoperative procedures, but should also pay attention to the entire perioperative period, especially the timing of patient extubation.
