  • Title: Tension pneumocephalus after evacuation of chronic subdural hematoma and subsequent treatment with continuous lumbar subarachnoid infusion and craniostomy drainage.
    Author: Caron JL, Worthington C, Bertrand G.
    Journal: Neurosurgery; 1985 Jan; 16(1):107-10. PubMed ID: 3974807.
    Abstract:
    We present a case of tension pneumocephalus after burr hole evacuation of bilateral chronic subdural hematomas. Subsequent treatment was effected with combined twist drill closed system drainage and continuous intrathecal infusion of a physiological solution. The clinical entity, tension pneumocephalus, and the use of continuous subarachnoid infusion and drainage as a method of cerebral reexpansion are discussed.
