Our results suggest that bedside gastric ultrasound is highly sensitive and specific to detect or rule out a full stomach in clinical scenarios in which the presence of gastric content is uncertain.

MVD and AN resection were associated with an increased likelihood of PONV compared with craniotomies performed for other tumor resection.

The transversalis fascia plane block is a relatively new truncal block that targets the iliohypogastric and ilioinguinal nerves. It is gaining wider usage for its reliability to block these nerves as compared with the transversus abdominis plane block. The case presented here appears to be the first time that motor weakness has resulted from this block technique. It is suspected that central and proximal spread of local anesthetic toward the psoas muscle may have resulted in a partial lumbar plexus block.
