    Abstract:
    Two case reports of patients operated for posterior fossa tumors complicated by postoperative hematoma are presented. In both cases patients underwent tracheostomy and were on ventilator for more than three weeks. Postoperative course was complicated by pneumonia and bronchitis. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy was performed to rule out lung complications. Fiberoptic laryngotracheoscopy was done for dynamic control of vocal cords paralysis and helped to make a decision regarding the time of the safe extubation.
