“…This may lead to excessive cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) loss decreasing intracranial CSF pressure. As a result, the bridging veins may stretch and tear causing intracranial bleeding [2, 7]. In our case, it is worth noting that the patient did not have history of hypertension and there were two blood pressure elevations in the pre/perioperative period although the clinical significance of this cannot be fully determined and to some extent is routine course in any major surgery.…”

BackgroundIntracranial hemorrhage is a rare but potentially severe complication of spinal surgery. Most reported post-operative ICH cases consist of cerebellar hemorrhage. There are fewer reported cases of supratentorial ICH following spinal surgery.Case presentationA 56-year-old woman underwent spinal surgery complicated by bilateral supratentorial intraparenchymal basal ganglia hemorrhage with both intraventricular extension and subarachnoid hemorrhage in both cerebral hemispheres.ConclusionThe occurrence of neurological deterioration post-operatively following spinal surgery should alert physicians to the possibility of intracranial hemorrhage in order to facilitate rapid and optimal management. To our knowledge, this is the first case reporting basal ganglia hemorrhage following spinal surgery. Moreover, consideration should be given to the possibility of this complication prior to recommendation of elective spinal surgery.

“…We should keep the differential diagnoses of the symptoms in mind. Early postoperative headache may suggest the possibility of remote intracranial hemorrhage due to dural injury [14] . Postoperative visual impairment may suggest the possibility of ischemic optic neuropathy, central retinal vessel occlusion, and posterior cerebral infarction [15] .…”

“…Epidural or subdural hematomas, cerebellar hemorrhage and infarction, brainstem and basal ganglia infarction, pseudomeningocele, an subdural hygroma have been reported. [5][6][7] Subdural hygroma is also one of the rare complications in spinal anesthesia. 8,9 In our case, a subdural hygroma occurred early, which transformed into chronic SDH later.…”

Background We present the case of an intracranial subdural hygroma resulting from intraoperatively undetected dural tear after unilateral biportal endoscopic (UBE) spine surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis. Case Description An 80-year-old woman presented with insidious onset, gradually progressing low back pain, and right leg pain of 1-year duration. The pain radiated to the right L4–L5 dermatomes. Neurogenic intermittent claudication was <300 m. Motor function was normal. Lumbar magnetic resonance imaging showed a lateral recess stenosis at the L3–L4 and L4–L5 levels. These lesions were operated on by the UBE decompression technique.No major complications were encountered during the operation. But soon we found out that there was an undiscovered dura tear. We placed the patient under close observation for 2 weeks. After 30 days, we confirmed that subdural hygroma had changed to chronic subdural hematoma. Conservative treatment was continued. On postoperative day 90), the condition was stable and the symptoms improved completely. Conclusions We concluded that a spinal cerebrospinal fluid leakage can result in an intracranial subdural hygroma. Intracranial subdural hygromas and hematomas after lumbar spinal surgery should be cautiously assessed and treated.
