Extraction of tumor embolus following perioperative stroke
We would like to highlight the case of a 69-year old man who was found to have a rare cause of perioperative stroke. The patient was diagnosed with primary adenocarcinoma of the lung, with no evidence of metastases on staging PET CT. His only past medical history was of hypertension. He underwent resection of the left upper lobe tumour. During the six-hour operation, hypotension or hypoxia were not encountered but supraventricular tachycardia was noted both intra- and post-operatively. In the recovery ward, he was noted to have new left-sided limb weakness.
