Complications Following Decompressive Craniectomy
Journal of Neurological Surgery Part A: Central European Neurosurgery, 2021Abstract Background Decompressive craniectomy (DC) has become the definitive surgical procedure to manage a medically intractable rise in intracranial pressure. DC is a life-saving procedure resulting in lower mortality but also higher rates of severe disability.

Deterioration following craniectomy
Practical Neurology, 2013A 35-year-old right-handed man was admitted to the rehabilitation unit, 4 weeks after a traumatic brain injury. He had been found unconscious in the street several hours after drinking with friends. On first admission to the emergency unit, his Glasgow Coma Scale score was 6 out of 15.

Craniectomy in Herpetic Encephalitis
Pediatric Neurology, 2008The morbidity and mortality of herpes simplex encephalitis have decreased since the 1980s with the use of antivirals, but have remained stable in the last couple of years. One cause of morbidity is the development of focal hemorrhagic necrosis and edema in the temporal lobe, giving rise to space-occupying lesions, with a subsequent elevation of ...

Editorial: Decompressive craniectomy
Journal of Neurosurgery, 2012The accompanying article by Bor-Seng-Shu et al.1 attempts to address a rather straightforward question: Does decompressive craniectomy reduce intracranial pressure (ICP) and increase cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) in the setting of traumatic brain injury?

Neurocritical Care, 2017
Neurosurgical involvement in the care of major stroke complications has yielded striking results in the subtentorial region but equivocal outcomes in the supratentorial compartment. Most neurosurgeons want to see some degree of deterioration before proceeding; thus, timing will be debated.

Contemporary Review on Craniectomy and Cranioplasty; Part 1: Decompressive Craniectomy
Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2021Abstract This paper aims to review clinical benefits of decompressive craniectomy (DC) in both adult and paediatric populations; its indications and factors contributing to its postoperative success. The Glasgow Outcome Scale and the Modified Rankin Scale are the most commonly used scales to assess the long-term outcome in ...

Symptomatic patients after craniectomy
Surgical Neurology, 1997Various surgical procedures in neurosurgery end with cranial vault defects. It is generally believed that the reason for repair of the skull defect is cosmetic or protective. There is evidence, however, that in selected cases neurologic deterioration can be reversed by cranioplasty.

Neurology, 1997
Focal encephalitis may be associated with brain edema, which is often fatal. The control of intracranial pressure (ICP) is therefore crucial for further therapeutic strategies in space-occupying edema following encephalitis. However, aggressive treatment strategies such as hemicraniectomy have not been described in a larger series of patients.We ...

Generous Craniectomy for Kleeblattschädel Anomaly
Neurosurgery, 1980In the case presented, Kleeblattschädel, or cloverleaf skull deformity, was treated successfully with a two-staged, generous craniectomy. The pertinent aspects of this rare anomaly are reviewed in light of information from other cases described previously.
