Use of the laryngeal mask airway during awake craniotomy for tumor resection

There is an increasing trend toward performing craniotomy for primary brain tumor excision with local anesthesia. We report the use of the laryngeal mask airway as a part of an anesthetic technique designed for patients requiring awake cortical mapping during brain tumor excision.
