Özet

Objective and importance. - Symptomatic cerebral vasospasm can occur after resection of tumors in or adjacent to the basal cisterns, causing delayed neurological deterioration. This potentially treatable condition may go unrecognized. Delay in its recognition will adversely affect the outcome of the patients. There has been a few cases of vasospasm after tumoral resection reported in the litterature, mostly in adults. We report a case of vasospasm after resection of a third nerve schwannoma in a pediatric patient. This is the youngest patient reported to date with vasospasm after resection of a brain tumor.
