Regional anesthesia for hip fracture surgery in a patient with Rendu-Osler-Weber syndrome: case report
Éric Guimarães Machado, Amélie Gabrielle Vieira Falconi, Amanda Rodrigues Tirapani Diniz, Bruno Vitor Martins Santiago
Abstract
Rendu-Osler-Weber syndrome is a rare systemic fibrovascular dysplasia characterized by mucocutaneous telangiectasias and arteriovenous malformations. When surgical intervention is required, the anesthetic technique must be carefully selected during the preoperative period to reduce morbidity and mortality. This case report presents a patient with Rendu-Osler-Weber syndrome who underwent orthopedic surgery for osteosynthesis of a femoral fracture. The chosen approach combined an iliac fascia compartment block and pericapsular nerve group block with intravenous sedation, resulting in a satisfactory outcome.
