Abstract
Although some complications have been reported when using endoscopic techniques, epidural hematoma (EDH) has rarely been caused. The authors report a case of EDH complicating a concomitant endoscopic biopsy procedure with ventricular shunt placement in a young, 14-year-old boy harboring a third ventricle tumor with a hydrocephalus. Few cases have been reported; however, the authors warn that there is a risk that EDH may develop following an endoscopic procedure and shunt placement.
