Background: Mannitol is the most commonly used intraoperative hypertonic solution in patients undergoing craniotomy. However, its use has been reported to be associated with hyperkalemia, which can occasionally be life threatening.
Case Description And Literature Review: In this report, we discuss the case of a patient who had intraoperative cardiac arrest secondary to mannitol-induced hyperkalemia during a craniotomy for tumor resection.
