Abstract:
Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is a rare but the most common genetic cause of ischemic strokes. Very little is known about perioperative implications of this syndrome. We present a case of anesthesia for a patient with CADASIL, considering protection from further cerebral ischemia.
