Successful Management of Iatrogenic Cranial Pseudomeningocele With Subgaleal Shunt

Iatrogenic pseudomeningocele is a common complication of cranial surgeries. However, there are no evidence-based guidelines on how to manage this condition. We report two cases of iatrogenic postoperative cranial pseudomeningocele that failed conservative management including compressive head dressi...

description Iatrogenic pseudomeningocele is a common complication of cranial surgeries. However, there are no evidence-based guidelines on how to manage this condition. We report two cases of iatrogenic postoperative cranial pseudomeningocele that failed conservative management including compressive head dressing. Subgaleal shunt placement was utilized with successful resolution in both cases. We postulate that subgaleal shunt placement may be an effective method in the management of iatrogenic subgaleal pseudomeningocele.
