ABSTRACT
Awake neurosurgery in children may sometimes require conversion to general anesthesia. We present here the case of a first failed awake procedure for epilepsy surgery. After adapting the anesthesia protocol (sedation + hypnosis) and acceptance by the patient, the surgeons operated the child in good conditions a few months later. We believe that it is possible to retry awake neurosurgery after a first failure if its analysis showed modifiable causes.
