ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To describe the rare complication of cerebral pseudoaneurysm formation following stereotactic electroencephalography (sEEG) lead implantation in children.METHODS:
A retrospective chart review of all pediatric patients undergoing sEEG procedures between 2015 and 2020 was performed. Cases of pseudoaneurysm were identified and reviewed.RESULTS:
Cerebral pseudoaneurysms were identified in two of 58 total cases and 610 implanted electrodes. One lesion was detected 1 year after sEEG explantation and required craniotomy and clipping. The other was detected 3 months post-explantation and underwent coil embolization. Neither patient had any neurologic deficits associated with the pseudoaneurysm before or after treatment.CONCLUSIONS:
Pseudoaneurysm formation post-sEEG explantation is rare and likely underreported. Routine, post-explantation/treatment imaging is warranted to detect this rare but potentially lethal complication.Palabras clave
