Abstract
Two cases of florid swelling of pericranial pedicle grafts are reported. Intracranial mass effect produced by the grafts necessitated reoperation with graft removal in one case and graft revision in the other. No permanent neurological deficits were incurred by either patient. Venous congestion and associated swelling within the graft were considered to be related to constriction of the graft base at the frontal bone flap-skull base interface in one patient and torsion of the graft base in the other.
