Intractable seizures after cranioplasty, a dreadful post-operative complication managed efficiently from Nepal: A case series

Intractable seizures post-cranioplasty, though rare, are serious and often linked to cerebral edema from negative pressure drainage and dysregulation of cerebral blood flow. Removing the cranioplasty can restore blood flow regulation, stabilize brain tissue, and resolve seizures. Care providers should be aware of this rare complication and to be counselled the patient and the family before the surgery.

Abstract

Intractable seizures post-cranioplasty, though rare, are serious and often linked to cerebral edema from negative pressure drainage and dysregulation of cerebral blood flow. Removing the cranioplasty can restore blood flow regulation, stabilize brain tissue, and resolve seizures. Care providers should be aware of this rare complication and to be counselled the patient and the family before the surgery.
