Postoperative CT changes.
An analysis is made of 36 cases of severe postoperative changes, some of which are undoubtedly of iatrogenic origin. CT has considerably improved the possibilities of postoperative control. By this means it is easy to check the result of the operation. Moreover the neuroradiologist can verify the quality (indication and technique) of the work of his surgical colleagues in the same way that the neurosurgeon can verify the neuroradiologist's work in the operating theater. This will result in a better knowledge of each other and, even more important, in better care of the patient.
