Decompressive craniectomy: contralateral lesions and metabolic abnormalities.
OBJECTIVE To define the incidence of new contralateral intracranial lesions following decompressive hemicraniectomy for blunt traumatic brain injury, and explore the potential association with metabolic factors that contribute to coagulopathy. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the records and imaging of all patients treated with hemicraniectomy for blunt traumatic brain injury at our instit...
متن کاملDecompressive Craniectomy.

The aim of this study was to assess the factors associated with prognosis and outcome of patients with traumatic brain inj...
متن کاملA Faster and Wider Skin Incision Technique for Decompressive Craniectomy: n-Shaped Incision for Decompressive Craniectomy
OBJECTIVE Decompressive craniectomy (DC) is a useful surgical method to achieve adequate decompression in hypertensive intracranial patients. This study suggested a new skin incision for DC, and analyzed its efficacy and safety. METHODS In the retrograde reviews, 15 patients underwent a newly suggested surgical approach using n-shape skin incision technique (Group A) and 23 patients were trea...
متن کاملSimultaneous Cranioplasty and Subdural-Peritoneal Shunting for Contralateral Symptomatic Subdural Hygroma following Decompressive Craniectomy
BACKGROUND Contralateral subdural hygroma caused by decompressive craniectomy tends to combine with external cerebral herniation, causing neurological deficits. MATERIAL AND METHODS Nine patients who underwent one-stage, simultaneous cranioplasty and contralateral subdural-peritoneal shunting were included in this study. Clinical outcome was assessed by Glasgow Outcome Scale as well as Glasgo...
