Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation Developing After Cranioplasty.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) developing after cranioplasty, a skull reconstructive surgical procedure, is very rare. The presently reported patient underwent cranioplasty for cranial trauma under general anaesthesia using titanium prostheses. Her laboratory data was unremarkable. She underwent three operations, each complicated by excessive postoperative bleeding. Although the patient received massive blood transfusions, but no cryoprecipitate coagulum was given during the first two re-operations, and excessive bleeding was evident. Laboratory data showed PT prolongation, APTT prolongation, thrombocytopenia and elevation of the D-dimer level, suggestive of DIC. After the third re-operation, the patient received cryoprecipitate coagulum, and there was no apparent bleeding. Administration of cryoprecipitate coagulum for excessive bleeding postcranioplasty may be required in view of this rare complication.

BACKGROUND The aims of the present study were to confirm the consumption coagulopathy of disseminated intravascular coagulation with the fibrinolytic phenotype at an early phase of trauma and to test the hypothesis that thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor, neutrophil elastase, and plasmin contribute to the increased fibrinolysis of this type of disseminated intravascular coagulation. Fu...
