Abstract

Primary liver tumors are rare in childhood. The most common live tumors under the age of three are hepatoblastomas. Surgical resection is the main choice for the treatment of hepatoblastomas.

Anesthesia management of those cases are debilitating because of prolonged surgery time, impaired hepatic blood flow, bleeding, acute hemodynamic changes, liver ischemia, deterioration of hemostatic mechanisms due to the size of resected live tissue, and hemorragia are the main problems complicating the anesthesia application in those cases.

In this case report, we aim to present and discuss the challenges of anesthesia management in a case of a 7-months-old infant who was planned for liver resection due to hepatoblastoma in the light of current literature.
