Pneumocephalus after posterior fossa surgery in the lounging position: risk analysis of intracranial air collections and clinical outcome by voxel-based volumetry
These findings suggest that the lounging position can be performed safely with careful monitoring for TP, particularly in older male patients and those undergoing longer surgeries via midline approaches. Awareness of risk factors and early postoperative imaging can help mitigate complications and improve patient outcomes.
