Excerpt

Broggi and colleagues present an interesting case in this issue of Acta Neurochirurgica and describe a well-known complication of pineal tumor surgery [1]. Their patient, a 56-year-old female, underwent removal of a WHO grade 3 pineal tumor via the supracerebellar infratentorial route. After an uneventful early postoperative course acute cerebellar swelling occurred that required emergency decompressive craniectomy. …
