Cerebral Perfusion and Blood-Brain Barrier Changes After Cranioplasty: A Diffusion-Prepared Arterial Spin Labeling Study. [PDF]

J Neuroimaging
ABSTRACT Background and Purpose Cranioplasty reconstruction after hemicraniectomy restores skull integrity and has been associated with neurological improvement, but the physiological mechanisms underlying recovery remain incompletely understood. This study investigated cerebral blood flow (CBF), arterial transit time (ATT), and blood–brain barrier ...

Cranioplasty After Severe Traumatic Brain Injury: Effects of Trauma and Patient Recovery on Cranioplasty Outcome

Frontiers in Neurology, 2018
BackgroundIn patients with severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI) treated with decompressive craniectomy (DC), factors affecting the success of later cranioplasty are poorly known.ObjectiveWe sought to investigate if injury- and treatment-related factors ...

A Reappraisal of the Necessity of a Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt After Decompressive Craniectomy in Traumatic Brain Injury [PDF]

Journal of Trauma and Injury, 2020
Purpose Cranioplasty itself is believed to have therapeutic effects on hydrocephalus. The goal of this study was to evaluate the hypothesis that not every patient with hydrocephalus after decompressive craniectomy needs cerebrospinal fluid diversion, and
