Remote Cerebellar Infarction after Supratentorial Craniotomy and Its Management: Two Case Reports
نویسندگان
چکیده
The cerebellar infarction resulting from supratentorial craniotomy is uncommon event and its management has been controversial. After removal of space occupying lesion on right frontal area, two cases of remote cerebellar infarctions occurred. We reviewed each cases and the techniques to manage such complications are discussed. Early extraventricular catheter insertion and midline suboccipital craniectomy were effectively performed in obtunded patients from cerebellar infarction.

Remote Supratentorial Hemorrhage following Supratentorial Craniotomy: A Case Report
Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) in regions remote from the initial intracranial operation site is rare. The mechanism of ICH following cranial surgery remains unclear, although several theories have been proposed. Most of the reports describe cerebellar hemorrhages after supratentorial procedures or supratentorial hemorrhages after infratentorial procedures. Remote supratentorial hemorrhage (RSH)...

OBJECTIVE Cerebellar hemorrhage remote from the site of surgery may complicate neurosurgical procedure. The exact pathophysiology of this type of hemorrhage is poorly understood. We retrospectively compared 16 patients who had remote cerebellar hemorrhage (RCH) with a case-matched control cohort, to determine the significance of perisurgical and surgical factors that may predispose patients to...

A. Amini A.G. Osborn T.D. McCall W.T. Couldwell SUMMARY: Remote cerebellar hemorrhage (RCH) is a rare but benign, self-limited complication of supratentorial craniotomies that, to the best of our knowledge, has not been described in the imaging literature. RCH can be an unexpected finding on routine postoperative imaging studies and should not be mistaken for more ominous causes of bleeding suc...

Remote cerebellar hemorrhage after supratentorial surgery is rare, ranging between 0.08% and 0.29% in adults and children. However, it is extremely rare in children. This phenomenon underlying mechanisms remain obscure. A 14-year-old male child patient had a history of right focal seizures and underwent craniotomy for a left frontal mass (Dysembryoplastic Neuroepithelial Tumor). First hours pos...
متن کاملCerebellar hemorrhage after supratentorial craniotomy--report of three cases.
We report on three cases of remote cerebellar hemorrhage after supratentorial craniotomy, which had much in common in their computed tomographic, operative, and clinical findings. We speculate that, when the patient is in the supine position, displacement of the cerebellum causes stretching of the superior vermian veins and their tributaries, resulting in tearing of these vessels. Postoperative...
