Abstract

We present the case of a 62-year-old woman with an advanced metastatic lung tumor that required palliative debulking. Perioperative placement of a surgical clip in the dura of the thoracic spinal cord caused a dural breach, which ultimately caused a pneumocephalus. An awareness of this association is important, especially in patients undergoing thoracic resections. We also describe our approach to the management of this condition.
