| Popis: | A case of "silent" intracranial meningioma unmasked by narcosis is described. The diagnosis was made because of the patient's failure to wake up after elective general anesthesia for orthopaedic surgery. Factors leading to this complication and its management are discussed. Early computed tomography scan and antiedema therapy are strongly suggested for these patients. |
