Whilst dural tears, epidural haematoma and transient paresthesia are well-documented complications associated with BESS, cases of subdural hygroma remain exceedingly rare. The present study presents a case series of three patients who developed postoperative subdural hygroma following BESS. An accompanying literature review was conducted in order to explore potential mechanisms and management strategies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case presentation<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The initial case pertained to a 35-year-old male patient who underwent a cervical discectomy and foraminal decompression via BESS for the treatment of cervical spondylosis. Subsequently, the patient developed a cranial subdural hygroma. The second patient, a 53-year-old male, underwent a lumbar discectomy and decompression via BESS for lumbar disc herniation with concomitant spinal stenosis. Postoperative imaging revealed extensive lumbar subdural hygroma. The third case report concerns a 74-year-old male patient who underwent BESS decompression surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis. Postoperatively, the patient developed a subdural hygroma in the lower lumbar region.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The development of subdural hygroma following BESS may be attributed to a combination of factors, including occult dural tears, abrupt alterations in intraspinal pressure, and ischemia-reperfusion injury. In view of the potential clinical implications of this rare complication, greater awareness and monitoring is warranted in the postoperative management of patients undergoing BESS.<\/jats:p>\n
