Abstract
We observed a consistent and marked hypertensive response during trigeminal rhizotomy with methohexital anesthesia in 11 consecutive patients. Percutaneous trigeminal rhizotomy should not be regarded as a benign surgical procedure in view of the potential morbidity associated with such acute hypertension. We recommend that patients undergoing this operation be continuously monitored.Keywords
