Surgical removal the is most definitive treatment. It has a high perioperative morbidity and mortality We combined general anaesthesia with regional technique for better haemodynamic stability. Basic elements anaesthetic management protection hemodynamic stability maintaining cerebral perfusion pressure. Few cases have been reported as now. The aim this study to evaluate CBT surgery present literature knowledge.
