Subdural hygroma: a rare complication of spinal anesthesia

J S P van den Berg et al. Anesth Analg. 2002 Jun.

Abstract

We describe a patient with frontal hygroma after spinal anesthesia--a rare complication. This condition should be considered in patients after spinal anesthesia with persisting orthostatic headache. Risk factors include ventriculo-peritoneal shunt or brain atrophy caused by old age.
