ABSTRACT
Choroid plexus carcinomas (CPCs) are rare intraventricular lesions encountered in the pediatric population. The dreaded perioperative complication causing high mortality and morbidity in patients undergoing excision of CPC is massive intraoperative hemorrhage, which results in massive blood transfusion, and coagulopathy. Hence, the main crux of perioperative management is to tackle intraoperative hemorrhage and coagulopathy by instituting goal-directed blood transfusion guided by multimodality monitoring. This case series and literature review aims to present our institutional experience wherein the patients had a favorable outcome post-excision of CPC owing to goal-directed blood transfusion protocol guided by multimodality monitoring in the perioperative period.
