RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Suboccipital lateral approach is a common practice in neurosurgery to expose the region of the cerebellopontine angle. Postcraniectomy headache (PCH) is one of the most frequent complications that diminish the quality of life of patients. OBJECTIVE: To compare postcraniectomy pain in patients operated on for vestibular neurinomas by a suboccipital lateral approach by 2 different incisions. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Prospective randomized research study. Follow-up of patients operated for vestibular neurinomas between July 2017 and May 2019 (n=40) by the same surgeon. One group received the classical linear incision (n=20) and another group the alternative incision in an inverted "U" (modified Dandy) (n=20). Pain intensity was evaluated by numerical scale. A minimum follow-up of 3 months was carried out. The impact on quality of life was measured by the SF-36 questionnaire short version both before and after surgery. RESULTS: The average age was 46.1 years. The overall PCH index was 27.5% (n=11) of the patients. The incidence of pain in the group that received the classical incision (A) was 20% (n=4) and in group B was 35% (n=7). CONCLUSIONS: We found a higher rate of post-craniectomy headache in patients who underwent a "modified Dandy" incision. These are preliminary data of an undergoing study and we hope to obtain more representative information in the future. We recommend interdisciplinary follow up for the integral treatment of PCH.
