  • Title: Depressed skull fracture and epidural haematoma: an unusual post-operative complication of pin headrest in an adult.
    Author: Sade B, Mohr G.
    Journal: Acta Neurochir (Wien); 2005 Jan; 147(1):101-3. PubMed ID: 15455215.
    Abstract:
    Depressed skull fracture and epidural haematoma caused by pin headrest complicated the post-operative course in an adult, after removal of a parasagittal meningioma. The calvarial thickness was observed to be significantly reduced due to chronic high intracranial pressure. Potentially hazardous complications of pin headrests should not be underestimated in adults.
