Management strategy for treatment of vasospasm following transsphenoidal excision of craniopharyngioma.

abstract：OBJECTIVES:Vertebral artery injury (VAI) during foraminal decompression in cervical spine surgery in the absence of repositioning or screw stabilization is rare. Without immediate recognition and treatment, it may have disastrous consequences. We aimed to describe the incidence and management of iatrogenic VAI in low-r...
