Abstract

Postoperative cerebral infarction is one of the major complications after cardiovascular surgery. Although it's incidence is not so high, there is a probability of postoperative cerebral infarction even after gastrointestinal surgery, especially in patients with generalized arteriosclerosis. We experienced a case of cerebral infarction complicated in the operation for thoracic esophageal cancer. After further examinations, the disease turned out to be caused by severe stenosis of left internal carotid artery. Preoperative evaluation of important cerebrovascular lesions should be done in cases of major gastrointestinal operations for poor risk patients.
