Abstract;Spinal subarachnoid anesthesia was conducted for resection of testis tumor in a 30-year-old man with Aarskog syndrome. Here, we described some points that require attention. Pretreatment was conducted by intramuscular injection of midazolam and famotidine. For anesthetization, high-density tetracaine was injected from the third and forth lumbar vertebra at in the right decubitus position. Cold test 5 min after the injection, disclosed a lowering of consciousness level up to the 10 th thoracic vertebra. Oxygenation was made using oxygen mask and continuous i.v. injection of propofol was conducted for sedation. Preoperative blood pressure was kept at 70-110/46060 mmHg. The heart rate was kept at 60-80/min and the respiratory conditions were good, indicating stable anesthesia. There was no postoperative complication such as neurological symptoms of lower extremities.
