pneumocephalus การใช้

Intracranial air ( pneumocephalus ) may occur in compound skull fractures.
Pneumocephalus occurs when air enters the intracranial cavity and becomes trapped in the subarachnoid space.
Efforts are made by neurosurgeons to reduce pneumocephalus volume during surgery, and thus, subsequent brain shift.
The LORS technique is generally favoured due to the increased complication risk with the LORA technique such as pneumocephalus or air embolism.
Pneumocephalus has also been shown to follow neurosurgical procedures such as deep brain stimulation, where while seemingly innocuous to the patient, may cause brain shift and subsequent stereotactic inaccuracy.
