A Simple Surgical Technique for Pediatric Sinus Pericranii: Intraoperative Manual Compression of a Major Shunting Point

Conclusion: Intraoperative hemostasis is essential while sinus pericranii is detached from the cranium. Hemostatic agents such as bone wax or absorbable gelatin and heat coagulation seem to be useful. However, complicative hemorrhage concerning to the preceded technique has been also reported. As seen in our case, to detect minor shunting points between the sinus pericranii and the intracranial veins, the major venous connection was manually compressed. Intraoperative manual compression of a major venous connection of sinus pericranii can be an option to manage intraoperative bleeding.Pediatr Neurosurg
