Complications like postoperative infection and hemorrhage are common to all neurosurgical procedures however recognizing life-threatening complications such as tension pneumocephalus and paradoxical herniation, which requires urgent intervention, is important for a better clinical outcome. Computed tomography is fast, cost effective, and easily accessible for first-line imaging.(1)CT is being utilized as the primary -diagnostic examination in the postoperative period for evaluation of complications such as intra or extracerebral hematoma, cerebral edema and infarction. An awareness of the complications that may occur after neurosurgery is necessary to prevent a delay in diagnosis and treatment with an associated poorer outcome. The most important role of radiologists is to recognize the less common, but life threatening, post-op complications such as tension pneumocephalus, external brain tamponade and paradoxical herniation. Early and accurate diagnosis is essential for improving the outcome. As some findings may be seen in asymptomatic patients (pseudocomplications), one should always consider the patient’s clinical status when interpreting the post-op images.
