    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To study the brachiocephalic blood flow in patients after posterior fossa surgery in sitting position. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We examined 60 patients (44 women and 16 men, mean age from 46.45±13.2 years) after the surgery of neurinomas and meningiomas. The study of neurological symptoms and cerebral blood flow as well as computed tomography of the brain were performed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: No changes in the extracranial blood flow were found in patients without pneumocephalus or with a small amount of air in the intracranial cavity. Pneumocephalus decreased the linear velocity of the blood flow in the postoperative period. A trend towards the restoration of the blood flow along the inner carotid artery on both sides up to the preoperative level was found in patients with common pneumocephalus 24-48h after the surgery.
