Case Details

Brain Injury: Intraoperative neurosurgical error. The defendant's neurosurgeon saw our client after he was diagnosed with a benign brain cyst that needed to be removed. He performed the surgery without the assistance of essential neuro-navigational imaging. Engaging the highest qualified neurosurgeon expert to assist us, we established that during surgery the defendant neurosurgeon became ‘lost’ in our client’s brain. As a result, he negligently encroached upon and injured healthy brain tissue which should have been outside the operative field. Our client was caused to suffer a significant brain injury leaving him unable to care for himself. This result is a record high for a medical malpractice brain injury case in the county in which it pended.
