Cardiovascular disturbances caused by extradural negative pressure drainage systems after intracranial surgery.
Extradural drainage systems connected to a vacuum device for preventing postoperative haematoma formation are often used in neurosurgical practice. Cardiovascular complications, including bradycardia or low arterial pressure caused by intracranial hypotension, have been described associated with their use. We have investigated the relationship between the negative pressure applied to extradural...
متن کاملNegative extradural pressure may not be caused by tenting of the dura.
Sir,—We read with interest the review article on anaesthesia and myotonia [1]. Myotonia dystrophica is an uncommon disorder with as yet no consensus of opinion regarding the ideal anaesthetic for these patients. Propofol has been used in this disorder with variable responses, including prolonged recovery, altered dose–response curves and precipitation of the myotonia. We report three additional...

Intracranial Pressure Gradients Caused by Experimental Cerebral Ischemia and Edema • To assess the development and resolution of ischemic cerebral edema and brain swelling, measurements of intracranial pressure (ICP) were made in cats after the transorbital occlusion of one middle cerebral artery. Measurement of ICP gradients was difficult: epidural, subdural and intraventricular catheters caus...
متن کاملLife-Threatening Intracranial Hypotension after Skull Base Surgery with Lumbar Drainage
Although lumbar drainage (LD) is widely used in skull base surgery (SBS), no cases with intracranial hypotension (IH) following LD-assisted SBS have been reported, and skull base surgeons lack awareness of this potentially life-threatening condition. We report two cases of IH after LD-assisted SBS, a spheno-orbital meningioma and an osteosarcoma in the orbit. Despite a minimal amount of cerebro...
