Objective:
To explore the reason and treatment of cerebrovascular accident on perioperative period of head and neck surgery.
Method:
We retrospectively analyzed 8 cases. All of them manifested cerebrovascular accident on perioperative period of head and neck surgery.
Result:
Reasons of cerebrovascular accident on perioperative period of head and neck surgery including rupture of blood vessel or deligation in 3 cases, detachment of the thrombus in 1 case, cerebral hemorrhage in 1 case, complicated causes in 3 cases.
Conclusion:
Head and neck surgery patients may undergo cerebrovascular accident of perioperative period during surgery, injury or rupture of blood vessels is the most important reason. Avoiding injury the major blood vessels during surgery is key point. But unfortunately, for cases of complicated reason, it is very difficult for the surgeons to prevent patients from those accidents.
