Pseudo Hypoxic Brain Swelling - An Unanticipated Life-Threatening Complication in Neurosurgery - Report of Two Cases with Review of Literature

Juneja Sarika, MD, Agarwal Himanshu, DM and Sandhu Kavita, MD

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: 2023/09/28

Pseudo Hypoxic Brain Swelling (PHBS) is an under diagnosed and seldom reported fatal complication of seemingly uneventful neurosurgery. Diagnosis may be confused with acute ischemic injury. Early recognition and institution of corrective measures can lead to complete reversal of symptoms and prevent mortality. In this paper, we want to highlight two cases of PHBS, which we came across and present their management and outcome, with review of literature....
