Commonly herniotomy and hernioplasty is performed under subarachnoid block (SAB). In this report we describe the anesthetic management of a patient with moderately decreased cardiac function who underwent herniotomy and hernioplasty under lumber epidural anesthesia. To the best of our knowledge this case is one of the few literature which describe epidural anesthesia for herniotomy and hernioplasty in a cardiac compromised patient.

Subdural empyema is a rare complication that causes high morbidity and mortality following sinusitis. Cranial complications should be considered in patients who develop neurological symptoms. These patients need surgery that should be performed by neurological and ear-nose-throat surgeons working together. A 14-year-old girl developed aphasia and hemiparesis from retrograde thrombophlebitis following sinusitis and we planned a two-stage surgery for the patient. In the first step, we drained the empyema by a craniotomy and functional endoscopic sinus surgery. In the second step, we drained a mature abscess. The purpose of this paper is to review the surgical and clinical management of intracranial complications from sinonasal infections.
