Persistent post-craniotomy headache: A three-case series

Reported case series of persistent post-craniotomy headache are scant. We herein report our three-case series of persistent post-craniotomy headache diagnosed in our headache clinic. These headache is frequently observed after suboccipital craniectomy. Our neurotropin medications were effective for all patients. Adhesion between the dura and scalp has been suspected as a cause of post-craniotomy headache. Neurosurgeons should keep in mind the possibility of post-craniotomy headache, and patients and their families should be fully informed of the risk of post-craniotomy headache.
