Abstract

Periauricular osseointegrated prosthesis retention systems have been proven safe and effective in the management of microtia. Intracranial hemorrhage has been previously reported with implantation but is rare. We report a case of subdural hemorrhage following removal of an auricular prosthesis implant system. This case highlights the role of imaging, surgical technique, and neurosurgical support in prevention and management of intracranial hemorrhage associated with osseointegrated device removal.
