Abstract
|
|
|
|
Subdural hygroma is a common complication of craniotomy. We introduce two cases of delayed-onset subdural hygroma, which developed after cortical or subcortical tumor surgery, and reviewed recent related literature to discuss the possible pathogenesis and clinical course of these hygromas, and to provide appropriate guidelines for the optimal management of this clinical condition. The possible pathogenesis of delayed postoperative subdural hygroma may be associated with CSF retention due to the tearing of the arachnoid membrane during surgery.
