Abstract:
Space-occupying tumor bed cysts have been reported after resection of intracranial tumors, although the exact mechanism of their pathogenesis is unclear. Opening of the ventricular system during the tumor resection appears to be a risk factor. Occlusion of the surgical opening of the ventricle using fibrinogen-coated collagen fleece has been suggested to restore the integrity of the ventricular system. Here we present a clinical image depicting an iatrogenic valve mechanism caused by a fleece intended to seal a surgical opening of the lateral ventricle, leading to development of a space-occupying tumor bed cyst and cerebrospinal fluid fistula.

Heart Valves
The AV valves prevent the backflow of blood from the ventricles to the atria during ventricular contraction. These valves function with the assistance of the chordae tendineae and papillary muscles. When the ventricles are relaxed, the chordae tendineae are slack, allowing blood to flow from the atria into the...
