Abstract：Objective To explore the factors relate to intracranial infection after the posterior fossa surgery and its treatment. Methods The clinical data of 356 patients undergoing the selective posterior fossa surgery from June, 2005 to June, 2013, of whom, 28 had intracranial infection and 328 not, were analyzed retrospectively. All the patients with intracranial infection were treated by the intravenous infusion of the antibiotics, drainage of cerebrospinal fluid and intrathecal injection of the antibiotics. Results The intracranial infection occurred from 3 to 14 days after the posterior fossa surgery in 28 patients. Of 28 patients with intracranial infection, 27 were cured within 6 weeks after the infection and 1 gave up treatment voluntarily. Conclusions The intracranial infection easily occurs in the patients undergoing the posterior fossa surgery. The curative effect of intravenous infusion and intrathecal injection of antibiotics and drainage of cerebrospinal fluid on the intracranial infection after the posterior fossa surgery is good.
