El hematoma cerebeloso (HCD) como complicación en cirugía de raquis, es menos frecuente que el hematoma a distancia secundario a la cirugía intracraneal. Se manifiesta principalmente con cefalea o deterioro del nivel de consciencia y se ha asociado a la pérdida de LCR intra o postoperatoria.
Presentamos un caso de HCD en una paciente de 55 años tras cirugía instrumentada de columna lumbar con fístula de LCR oculta, además de una revisión de la literatura con análisis de sus posibles causas, así como las implicaciones terapéuticas.
Remote cerebellar haemorrhage (RCH) is a rare complication of spinal surgery, less frequent than the RCH observed after an intracranial surgery. The patients principally complained of headache or were presented with deterioration in mental status.
We report a case of RCH in a 55 years old woman that underwent lumbar arthrodesis with occult dural defect. We review the literature, analysing its causes and therapeutic implications.
