Factors such as age, pre-existing comorbidities, duration of surgery and worsening of neurological injury are reasons why one should always seek to minimize the risks of mortality and morbidity during the trans and postoperative period.In addition, procedures using intravenous total anesthesia have become increasingly frequent due to further studies of the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles of these drugs. Thus, the objective of this study is to report the use of the technique of intravenous total anesthesia for craniotomy to remove an oligodendroglioma in a dog.
