  • Title: Intracerebral hemorrhage remote from the site of the initial neurosurgical procedure.
    Author: Waga S, Shimosaka S, Sakakura M.
    Journal: Neurosurgery; 1983 Dec; 13(6):662-5. PubMed ID: 6657020.
    Abstract:
    Four cases of intracerebral hemorrhage remote from the site of the initial neurosurgical procedure are presented. Two of the four patients had preoperative hypertension. Possible mechanisms are discussed, and labile hypertension and unstable blood pressure during the perisurgical period may be contributory. Clinical awareness of this rare but potential complication is essential to early diagnosis and treatment. Difficulty in awakening from anesthesia and the development of new neurological deficits not attributable to the operative site are the most important keys to early diagnosis. Computed tomography is the diagnostic method of choice.
