AB Regional  complications,  such  as  hemorrhage,  infection,  and  hydrocephalus,  or  systemic  complications,  including  deep  vein  thrombosis  and  septicemia,  may  follow  neurosurgical  procedures.  Significant  morbidity  and  mortality  can  result  from  delaying  the  diagnosis  of  these  complications  or  deferring  their  management.  Hospitalists  need  to  be  familiar  with  the  most  frequently  encountered  postoperative  complications  so  that  they  can  take  immediate  and  appropriate  actions  to  improve  outcomes.
