Abstract
- Deep sedation or general anesthesia has been frequently required daily radiation therapy in pediatric patients. We experienced repeated sedation with propofol in a 16-year-old patient who underwent consecutive radiation therapy due to brain tumor. During treatment, the patient showed increased susceptibility to propofol. The brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed gradual increase in size of brain tumor regardless of radiation therapy. The increased susceptibility of propofol may be related with growth of brain tumor.
