Cases admitted to a postoperative ICU for at least 48 hours and a follow up CT scan was done. Results: We observed all survivors for at least 2 months and asses our outcome using Glasgow Outcome Scale. <strong>Conclusion: </strong>Care of such cases and rehabilitation plays an important role to have a good prognosis.
