Decreased Cerebral Perfusion Under Anesthesia During Radiation Treatment: A Case Report

We describe a case where a patient’s neck circumference increased during the course of treatment. Given that the patient was under anesthesia for each treatment, he was not able to relay the tightness of the mask. This led to cerebral hypoxia. Cerebral oximetry confirmed this diagnosis, and the patient’s mask was refitted—remaining anesthetics were uneventful. Mask fitness should be reassessed during the treatment series.
