Abstract :

Aim: A systematic review of the literature to investigate the prevalence of different types of Intracranial haemorrhages in patients who underwent spinal surgeries. Methods: A literature review was conducted using multiple research databases. Data were extracted using multiple variables that were formulated incongruent with the study aim and then further analysed. Results: Out of 112 cases, the most common type of haemorrhage was cerebellar haemorrhage (56.3%). Since most of the patients were in the middle age group (15- 65), out of the 71 patients in this group, 60.6% developed significant cerebellar haemorrhage (p-value=0.004). Other significant findings in the middle age group included the occurrence of SDH and EDH in 19.7% and 5.6% respectively (p-value=0.024 and 0.019 respectively). Occurrence of EDH after spinal surgery was more commonly treated surgically with conservative treatment (11.5%) (p-value=0.011). Conclusion: The data in this study showed that out of 112 patients, cerebellar haemorrhage was the most common type. ICH post-spine surgery is a rare complication and diagnosing it as early as possible is necessary for early intervention to prevent aggravation of the complications and to decrease the hospital length of stay post-operatively.
