Summary:OBJECTIVE: The study aimed to carry out a retrospective analysis of 1709 patients anaesthetized for intracranial mass surgery between 2000 and 2010. METHODS: Data were mainly obtained from preoperative and intraoperative anaesthetic record forms. To obtain data, we used the patients' records and hospital medical information system. RESULTS: It was observed that 1103 patients (64.5%) had one or more accompanying systemic disease. Thiopental was the most frequently used induction agent and the most frequently used muscle relaxant agent was cisatracurium and propofol+remifentanyl were most frequently used for maintenance of anaethesia. The mean Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) of 1709 patients was 14.27±1.80 and the mean postoperative GCS was 14.02±1.42 in 1495 patients. A statistically significant difference was observed between preoperative and postoperative means of GCS (p
