Abstract

Pseudohypoxic brain swelling (PHBS) is a rare and potentially fatal complication that may occur in patients following uneventful brain surgery. We present a case of PHBS that developed after drilling and drainage of a chronic subdural hematoma. Neuroimaging findings, pathogenic factors, and therapy are also discussed.
