Remote cerebellar hemorrhage and intracranial hypotension syndrome following pituitary surgery.
Highlights
In the postoperative period, the patient evolved to significant worsening of the headache, and a magnetic resonance imaging scan was requested in order to evaluate the condition
Remote cerebellar hemorrhage has been defined as bleeding within the cerebellar parenchyma, a rare complication that can occur after neurosurgical intervention
The reported incidence of remote cerebellar hemorrhage after supratentorial interventions ranges from 0.08% to 0.6%(2)
Summary
The patient evolved to significant worsening of the headache, and a magnetic resonance imaging scan was requested in order to evaluate the condition. Remote cerebellar hemorrhage has been defined as bleeding within the cerebellar parenchyma, a rare complication that can occur after neurosurgical intervention.
