Intra- and Postoperative Consequences Resulting from the Postoperative Tendency to CSF-Hypotension after Meningioma Removal
Abstract
In an evaluation of 1563 postoperative lumbar pressure measurements in 411 patients with hemispheric space-occupying lesions — including 131 meningiomas — during the first nine postoperative days, a tendency to postoperative CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) — hypotension could be de-monstrated for the group of 31 precentral-parietal meningiomas (2, 3). This postoperative tendency to CSF-hypotension was pronounced between the 3rd and 7th postoperative day, and was prevalent in cases of medi-um-sized circumscribed meningiomas of about 5 cm in diameter (3).
