Résumé
The vagal nerve stimulation is approved for medically refractory epilepsy and major depression. We report the perioperative management of an epileptic patient with this indwelling device. This observation summarizes the physiologic implications and the specific anaesthetic considerations for procedures with this pre-existing device.
