title: Tension pneumocephalus after clipping of a carotid-ophthalmic artery aneurysm via an interhemispheric approach: case report.
abstract: A case of postoperative tension pneumocephalus of unusual cause after carotid-ophthalmic artery aneurysm clipping is presented. A second craniotomy for decompression and exploration demonstrated a small fistula in the planum sphenoidale, which presumably had been made when the right optic canal was unroofed during the first operation.
