Diffuse pneumocephalus associated with infratentorial and supratentorial hemorrhages as a complication of spinal surgery
Özet
A 23-year-old woman was transferred to our department with loss of consciousness 6 h after undergoing rod placement for thoracolumbar scoliosis. Both computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging of the brain revealed diffuse pneumocephalus and infra- and supratentorial hemorrhages. The pedicular screw tracts were analyzed with computed tomography and misplacement of a screw was noticed. It was thought that inadvertent dural injury had occurred at the time of insertion. The patient was reoperated and the dural tear was repaired. To our knowledge, this is the first description of these uncommon complications in one patient after spine surgery.
