Abstract

We present the first recorded case of a remote extradural haematoma following extended transsphenoidal surgery (eTSS) for craniopharyngioma. We believe that this is a unique complication related to rapid and excessive intracranial hypotension caused by acute overdrainage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) during the eTSS procedure.
