Intracranial epidural hematoma after use of a 3-pin head clamp in a pediatric case with posterior fossa tumor and hydrocephalus: A case report

The head clamp system is one of the indispensable equipment of neurosurgery in terms of stabilizing the head and positioning it. In addition, in neurosurgery clinics, the use of pin head clamp is required to use the navigation system effectively. In pediatric cases, complications after the use of pi...
