The aim of this study was to determine if early cranioplasty after decompressive craniectomy for trauma reduces complications. METHODS Consecutive cases of patients who underwent autologous cranioplasty after decompressive craniectomy for trauma at a single Level I Trauma Center were studied i...
متن کاملIs decompressive craniectomy useless in severe traumatic brain injury?
Recently, a multicenter randomized controlled trial (RCT) by Cooper and colleagues indicated that decompressive craniectomy (DC) may be associated with a worse functional outcome in patients with diffuse traumatic brain injury (TBI), although DC can immediately and constantly reduce intracranial pressure (ICP). As this trial is well planned and of high quality, the unexpected result is meaningf...
متن کاملDecompressive craniectomy after unsuccessful intravenous thrombolysis of malignant cerebral infarction
BACKGROUND Intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) is an approved treatment for acute ischemic stroke within 4.5 h of symptoms onset. Decompressive craniectomy (DC) has been shown as an effective therapeutic modality in malignant middle cerebral artery (MCA) infarction. As rt-PA could result in hemorrhagic complication during or after any surgery DC may be associated with s...
