Abstract:
:The authors report unanticipated intraoperative intracranial hemorrhaging in two pediatric neurosurgical patients. Both children were undergoing elective craniotomies with the aid of intraoperative magnetic resonance (iMR) imaging. In both cases, the ability of iMR imaging to aid in diagnosis allowed prompt and definitive treatment of potentially life-threatening complications. These cases illustrate the ability of iMR imaging to aid in differentiating unexpected and/or unexplained intraoperative events in pediatric neurosurgery.
