    Summary

    Continuous lumbar cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage during craniotomy can lead to forgotten catheter fragments. These fragments may cause delayed spinal cord compression syndromes in patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Neurology
    • Spinal Surgery

    Background:

    • Continuous lumbar cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage is a neurosurgical technique used during craniotomies.
    • Potential complications associated with indwelling CSF drainage catheters require careful consideration.
    • Previous literature has documented various complications of spinal catheters, but retained fragments are rare.
