Decompressive Craniectomy in Posterior Fossa Ischemic Stroke
Ischemic damage produced in the posterior cerebral territory causes significant morbidity and urgently must be considered if the patient need a surgical attitude. Surgical decompression by suboccipital craniectomy seams to be effective to treat secondary edema due to cerebellar damage or in posterior fossa, when medical treatment is not able to control side effects. We report a clinical case of...
متن کاملSandwich Wound Closure Reduces the Risk of Cerebrospinal Fluid Leaks in Posterior Fossa Surgery
Posterior fossa surgery is demanding and hides a significant number of obstacles starting from the approach to the wound closure. The risk of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage in posterior fossa surgery given in the literature is around 8%. The present study aims to introduce a sandwich closure of the dura in posterior fossa surgery, which reduces significantly the number of CSF leaks (3.8%) in...

Lumbar hernia herniates through the superior or inferior lumbar triangle. Herniation through inferior triangle is more common, probably due to variable attachment of external oblique and latissimus dorsi to iliac crest. If they are closel...
متن کاملTrephination mini-craniectomy for traumatic posterior fossa epidural hematomas in selected pediatric patients
PURPOSE Posterior fossa epidural hematomas (PFEDH) are uncommon in children but usually require timely surgical intervention due to the risk of life-threatening brainstem compression. We attempt to make the surgical procedure less invasive by treating selected pediatric patients with trephination mini-craniectomy. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the clinical courses, radiological findings...
متن کاملAseptic meningitis after posterior fossa surgery treated by pseudomeningocele closure.
Aseptic meningitis is a recognised complication after posterior fossa surgery. It is often self limiting but occasionally runs a protracted course requiring repeated CSF examination to exclude infection, and treatment with systemic steroids. A patient is described with aseptic meningitis after posterior fossa surgery who underwent posterior fossa re-exploration nearly 3 years after the initial ...
