Remote Intracranial Hemorrhage after Cranio-Spinal Surgery. Report of Two Cases
Post-operative intracranial bleeding at a distance from the surgical site is a rare complication of both cranial and spinal surgeries and is referred to as remote intracranial hemorrhage (RIH). Bleeding typically occurs in the cerebellum. Simultaneous hemorrhages in different cranial compartments ha...
