Abstract:
We report 3 cases of subdural tension pneumocephalus following burr - hole irrigation of traumatic chronic subdural hematoma. All of them were cured. Main factors leading to the pneumocephalus may be the damage to the hematoma capsule during operation, unidirection vaives formed from dural leceration and delayed re - expansion of the compressed brain. The clinical feature, CT finding, management and preventive measure of such a complication are also discussed.
