A case of loss of consciousness with contralateral acute subdural haematoma during awake craniotomy
نویسندگان
چکیده
We are reporting the case of a 56-year-old woman who developed loss of consciousness during awake craniotomy. A thin subdural haematoma in the contralateral side of the craniotomy was identified with intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging and subsequently removed. Our case indicates that contralateral acute subdural haematoma could be a cause of deterioration of the conscious level during awake craniotomy.

Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is a relatively frequent problem in neurologic or neurosurgical practice [1]. The potential for recovery from the evacuation of a CSDH is relatively high. However, some postoperative complications may affect the postoperative course [2].

متن کاملContralateral acute subdural hematoma after surgical evacuation of the initial hematoma: two case reports and review of the literature.
Remote intracranial hemorrhages after craniotomy or craniectomy may rarely develop. As the sparse literature on this phenomenon has focused on contralateral intraparenchymal and epidural clots, only seven cases of postoperative contralateral acute subdural hematomas have been reported in the literature.
