Anesthetic Management of a Patient with Fibromuscular Dysplasia Undergoing Superficial Temporal Artery-Middle Cerebral Artery Anastomosis with Blood Pressure Measurement by Arterial Tonometry

A 16-year-old female with fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) underwent superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery (STA-MCA) anastomosis. Her pulse was weak and her peripheral arteries tended to occlude. Blood pressure and waveform were therefore continuously monitored by arterial tonometry to avo...

Summary:A 16-year-old female with fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) underwent superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery (STA-MCA) anastomosis. Her pulse was weak and her peripheral arteries tended to occlude. Blood pressure and waveform were therefore continuously monitored by arterial tonometry to avoid intraarterial cannulation during anesthesia, and the procedure was completed without complication. Arterial tonometry was useful for monitoring blood pressure and waveform in a case of FMD.
