Extracerebral non-haemorrhagic expansive complications of intracranial surgery

Abstract: Extracerebral non-haemorrhagic collections of fluid and air causing significant impairment in the early period after intracranial surgery have received very little attention in the literature. Twenty-five fluid collections have been encountered, of which 17 appeared after intracerebral operations and were often in communication with the ventricular system. After extracerebral explorations supratentorial fluid collections accumulated in the Sylvian fissure or between the brain surface and the falx or tentorium … Show more

“…The occurrence o f a tension pneumatocephahts following surgery in a sitting position has often been reported 4,7,13,14,16,17,21. Predisposing factors, apart from the negative pressure in the sitting position and the loss of liquor during the operation, seemed to be brain atrophy and pre-operative shunts.…”

“…Arnason et al 1 reported 21 extracerebral nonhaemorrhagic expansive complications after intracranial surgery and the ventricular system had been opened in 10 of 21 cases. A CSF pulsatile force, which acts to maintain the original shape 14, possibly caused leaks through the CSF pathway which had been patent for more than 1 year in Case 5 described above.…”
