25 wrz 2018 · This article will review the commonly encountered normal and abnormal findings in post-craniotomy and craniectomy patients. The expected postoperative CT and MRI appearance of these procedures are discussed, followed by complications.
Complications specifically related to craniectomies include extracranial herniation, external brain tamponade, paradoxical herniation, and trephine syndrome. Keywords: Abscess; Craniotomy; Tension pneumocephalus; Trephine syndrome.
Post-operative complications include retraction injury to the cerebellum, venous sinus injury, damage to the cranial nerves and brainstem, as well as post-operative CSF leaks.
