Post-operative Hemorrhage After Tumor Removal of Multiple Meningiomas
Post-resection hemorrhage is a rare but serious complication of meningioma surgery. In this case report, we present a rare case of a patient with multiple meningiomas who developed intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) following tumor resection. In this case, A 51-year-old woman with multiple meningiomas presented to our department with severe recurrent headaches. The patient underwent bilateral craniotomy and cranioplasty, successfully reducing a total of 80% of the meningioma mass. However, two days post-surgery, her mental status deteriorated, and a CT scan revealed spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage (ICH); the patient cito operated for the evacuation with craniotomy. The patient showed improvement and was sent home after seven days of medical treatment in the hospital. Though rare, intracranial hemorrhage following meningioma resection is a life-threatening complication. Case reports or series can provide valuable insights for clinicians when managing such complications.
