In patients undergoing trigeminal (Gasserian) gan- glion compression by balloon catheter the anaesthetic procedure has a major role in blunting haemodynamic changes related to increased sympathetic tone and pain and to increased vagal activation related to surgical manoeuvres (foramen ovale puncture). These neuro- surgical procedures require deep, short-lasting anaes- thesia. Gasserian ganglion compression is frequently performed under propofol-based anaesthesia with ventilation modalities ranging from spontaneous to tracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation [1–4].

These neuro- surgical procedures require deep, short-lasting anaes- thesia.
