Rescue Measure in Giant Intracranial Meningioma Resection by Tranexamic Acid

J Neurosci Rural Pract. 2017 Aug;8(Suppl 1):S127-S129. doi: 10.4103/jnrp.jnrp_198_17.

Abstract

Neurosurgeons may find themselves in a precarious situation, while unable to secure haemostasis following tumour resection. We report intraoperative use of tranexamic acid to secure complete haemostasis as rescue measure in intracranial meningioma resection in uncontrollable bleeding.

Keywords: Difficult hemostasis; intracranial mengioma; surgical resection; tranexamic acid.
