Acute supratentorial bilateral giant extradural haematomas as a postoperative complication of resection of recurrent meningioma at the skull base

We report one rare case of an acute bilateral giant extradural haematoma as a postoperative complication of the resection of recurrent meningioma. the patient underwent meningioma resection at the sellar region five times. the patient recovered well after the first four surgeries. the resection went well during the fifth operation. however, acute supratentorial remote giant epidural haematomas developed in the bilateral hemispheres one hour after the operation, leading to the death of the patient. therefore, great care must be taken to prevent the occurrence of such haematomas
