Decompressive craniectomy in subarachnoid hemorrhage.
OBJECT The aim of this study was to analyze decompressive craniectomy (DC) in the setting of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) with bleeding, infarction, or brain swelling as the underlying pathology in a large cohort of consecutive patients. METHODS Decompressive craniectomy was performed in 79 of 939 patients with SAH. Patients were stratified according to the indication for DC: 1) primary brai...
متن کاملDecompressive Craniectomy for Poor-Grade Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
Patients with poor-grade aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) frequently suffer devastating sequelae caused by the primary and secondary impacts on the brain, particularly if associated with large intracerebral hematoma, sylvian hematoma, or acute subdural hematoma, which result in poor outcomes due to the significant brain stem compression caused by the mass effect. Decompressive craniecto...
متن کاملEffect of decompressive craniectomy on outcome following subarachnoid hemorrhage in mice.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) is a key feature of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Here, we examined the role of elevated ICP in the pathophysiology of SAH, and we investigated whether decreasing ICP by performing decompressive craniectomy (DC) can improve outcome. METHODS SAH was induced in male C57BL/6 mice via endovascular Circle of Willis perforation in the fol...
متن کاملDecompressive Craniectomy.
Decompressive Craniectomy (DC) is used to treat elevated intracranial pressure that is unresponsive to conventional treatment modalities. The underlying cause of intracranial hypertension may vary and consequently there is a broad range of literature on the uses of this procedure. Traumatic brain injury (TBI), middle cerebral artery (MCA) infarction, and aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH)...
متن کاملDecompressive craniectomy in pediatric patients
More frequently than adults, pediatric victims of severe traumatic brain injury experience diffuse severe cerebral edema without mass lesions. These patients require methods to reduce intracranial pressure quickly and reliably. Surgical decompression provides rapid relief of increased intracranial pressure and is an alternative to maximal medical therapy for these individuals. Based on previous...
