Abstract

Background: Surgical resection of a vestibular schwamnoma is a complex and challenging procedure that can be complicated by the development of a postoperative hematoma, which, although rare, is associated with a very high rate of mortality and disability. Purposes, materials and methods: We report a case and review the literature on the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of this condition. Results and Discussion: Postoperative bleeding after surgery for vestibular schwamnoma is a rare complication (2-10%); high mortality rate (20%-50%); intervention is indicated: Surgical drainage of the ventricles, surgical removal of hematoma to stop bleeding. Causes of death include cranial-neurological disorders and systemic disorders. Conclusion: Postoperative hematoma for posterior fossa tumors in general and cerebellopontine angle tumors in particular is a rare complication, but difficult to treat with a high prognosis of complications and mortality.
