Migration of craniotomy flap: an unusual complication.
An unusual complication following a craniotomy is reported. The free bone flap migrated over the adjacent bone four weeks following surgery and needed operative readjustment. The probable causes for such a complication are analysed and discussed
Suprasellar arachnoid cyst presenting with bobble-head doll movements: A report of 3 cases
We report a series of three patients with suprasellar arachnoid cysts
who presented with a rare 'bobble-head doll' syndrome. The abnormal
head movements improved after surgical evacuation of the cysts in all
the three cases. Various pathophysiological mechanisms involved in the
bobble-head doll syndrome are discussed. The literature on suprasellar
arachnoid cysts is briefly reviewed
