Brief Summary  

Purpose: Introduction: Awake craniotomy has been proven to be safe and effective in several conditions including low grade gliomas, epilepsy surgeries and some vascular conditions.1–3 It provides several advantages over craniotomy in general anesthesia. Firstly, it provides the ability to use intraoperative monitoring of eloquent regions including speech, motor, and visual areas. Secondly, pulmonary complications due to intubation, ventilation etc., that can occur with general anesthesia can be avoided. Thirdly, positional complications like ulcers, spinal torsions etc. can also be prevented.

The use of newer drugs like Dexmedetomidine is an alpha-2 adrenergic agonist, have properties of sedative and analgesic effect, reduced delirium and agitation, sympatholysis, cardiovascular stabilizing effect, without respiratory depression and has proved to be safe and effective in perioperative and ICU situations.4

Awake craniotomy has been generally used in non-edematous conditions, possibly due to apprehension of intraoperative brain bulge. If done in edematous conditions, large craniotomies have been advised.5 We have reported minicraniotomy and endoscopic assisted excision of edematous lesions in the past.6 In this article we report the combined use of techniques of awake and minicraniotomy for dealing with edematous brain lesions.
