Two probable anaphylactic events during consecutive cranial surgeries: case report / Dos probables eventos de anafilaxia durante cirugías craneales consecutivas. Reporte de caso

ABSTRACT

Abstract Perioperative anaphylaxis represents a complex diagnosis due to the varying intensity of the symptoms which are also shared with other pathologies. This article discusses a case of a patient that sustained 2 probable anaphylactic reactions during consecutive cranial surgeries under general anesthesia; the causal agent could not be confirmed. Investigating these reactions is essential for identifying the causal agents and preventing increasingly severe reactions in future exposures.

RESUMEN

Resumen La anafilaxia perioperatoria representa un diagnóstico problemático porque posee manifestaciones clínicas de distinta intensidad y comunes a otras patologías. Reportamos el caso de un paciente que presentó dos probables eventos de anafilaxia durante cirugías craneales consecutivas bajo anestesia general, cuyo agente causal no pudo ser confirmado. La investigación de estas reacciones es crucial para identificar los agentes causales y evitar reacciones de mayor severidad en futuras exposiciones.
