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 pins head clamp are rare, as reported in the literature. This paper presents a pediatric patient with posterior fossa tumor and hydrocephalus, who developed depression fracture and epidural hematoma after the use of Mayfield 3-pin clamp head. For this reason, the patient underwent emergency surgery a second time and the epidural hematoma was evacuated to obtain decompression. Epidural bleeding, which is a complication of the pinned clamped head, is frequently described in the literature, often in the pediatric cases accompanied by posterior fossa tumor and hydrocephalus. In this type of pediatric cases, a safe study for the use of pin clamp head is not yet available in the literature.

Glanzmann thrombasthenia is an uncommon hereditary disease that involves an abnormal platelet function leading to complicated hemostatic problems. In situations of anticipated hemorrhage, irradiated apheresed platelets are the first line of treatment. In addition, a combination of recombinant factor VIIa and an antifibrinolytic agent such as tranexamic acid can be utilized to minimize bleeding. Here we are present stable management of a pediatric patient with Glanzmann thrombasthenia admitted for traumatic epidural hematoma removal. Due to the condition of the operation site, some blood loss was unavoidable. However, hemostasis was successfully controlled, and the patient was discharged without additional complications.
