Abstract

Parasagittal meningioma complicated by diabetes mellitus and hypertension is a challenging disease. We present the case of a 55-year-old known diabetic hypertensive who presented to us on referral with a diagnosis of intracranial meningioma for neurosurgical care. He was worked up and successfully underwent a craniotomy and total tumor excision. Histology was in agreement with our preoperative concerns. The anesthetic challenges in the management of the patient are discussed.
