Abstract
A retrosigmoid craniectomy was performed for acoustic neuroma during which bone wax was used to control emissary vein bleeding. Postoperatively the patient developed an extensive venous thrombosis due to wax in the sigmoid sinus from which she recovered. We discuss this rare complication of posterior fossa surgery.Entities:
