AbstractWe describe two patients who underwent intracranial aneurysm surgery and developed postoperative subgaleal haematomas which, in the presence of an unfixed bone flap, resulted in significant extradural compression and a marked clinical deterioration. The application of a pressure dressing to tamponade a developing scalp haematoma is unwise unless the bone flap has been rigidly fixed in place.
