Key result

Transfusion-free posterior fossa meningioma resection proves feasible and safe in a Jehovah's Witness patient.

n=1

Key Points

To describe the surgical management and blood-conservation strategy during the resection of a large posterior fossa meningioma in a patient refusing autologous blood transfusion.
Case report of a Jehovah's Witness patient with a large posterior fossa meningioma who underwent neurosurgical resection without autologous blood transfusion.
Surgical approach incorporated preoperative hemodynamic evaluation and meticulous intraoperative hemostatic techniques to mitigate massive blood loss.
The tumor was resected without the administration of autologous blood transfusion.
The patient experienced no major intraoperative or postoperative adverse events despite the elevated risk of massive hemorrhage.
