ABSTRACT
Tuberous sclerosis is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by facial skin lesions, epilepsy, and mental retardation. Pulmonary involvement in tuberous sclerosis is rare and shows characteristic reticulonodular infiltration and cystic changes. Lymphangioleiomyomatosis is characterized by the progressive proliferation of smooth muscle cells and occurs in 0.1-1% of patients with tuberous sclerosis. We encountered a case of pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis associated with tuberous sclerosis and bilateral renal angiomyolipoma in a 31-year-old female patient. This case is reported here along with a brief review of the literature.

A 55-year-old man underwent a posterior decompression and fusion under general anesthesia. Near the end of the operation, the pressure waveform from the radial artery became flat, and his oxygen level could not be measured using pulse oximetry. Palpation of the carotid artery revealed no heart rate, and ventricular asystole was diagnosed. The patient was given cardiovascular drugs, but his hemodynamic status deteriorated, leading to severe hypotension, with sinus bradycardia, sinus tachycardia, sinus arrest, and paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. The patient had hypothermia based on an axillary temperature of 31.9degrees C. After active warming, his cardiovascular status stabilized.
