Decompressive Surgery for Traumatic Intracranial Hypertension

Trial of Decompressive Craniectomy for Traumatic Intracranial Hypertension.

BACKGROUND The effect of decompressive craniectomy on clinical outcomes in patients with refractory traumatic intracranial hypertension remains unclear. METHODS From 2004 through 2014, we randomly assigned 408 patients, 10 to 65 years of age, with traumatic brain injury and refractory elevated intracranial pressure (>25 mm Hg) to undergo decompressive craniectomy or receive ongoing medical ca...

Clinical and experimental data from the past two decades show that Decompressive Craniectomy (DC) is an effective treatment which reduces mortality within patients with refractory intracranial hypertension. Massive cerebral ischemic infarction and traumatic brain injury are the most frequent indication of DC. Since the conservative medical treatment of intracranial hypertension is ineffective i...
