Abstract
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a rare clonal hematopoietic stem cell disorder. Surgery, anesthesia, infection, trauma, and pregnancy can exacerbate hemolysis and thrombotic risk by increasing complement activity. However, perioperative treatment of eculizumab can reduce risk of hemolytic event by surgical stress. Here, we present the perioperative clinical course and adequate anesthetic management of PNH complicated by spine surgery under general anesthesia. We also describe a possible role of eculizumab for PNH patients with anticipated high risks.
Key Words: Hemoglobinuria, Hemolysis, Paroxysmal, Thrombosis
