Early Versus Delayed Cranioplasty After Decompressive Craniectomy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. [PDF]

Brain Behav
Overall Complications • Early cranioplasty showed a higher (but non‐significant) risk • RR 1.43 (95% CI: 0.81–2.53) • Heterogeneity: I2 = 57% Post‐operative Infection • Early cranioplasty associated with a non‐significant increase • RR 1.36 (95% CI: 0.36–5.11) • Heterogeneity: I2 = 38% Operative Time • Early cranioplasty resulted in a significantly ...

Prolonged course of brain edema and neurological recovery in a translational model of decompressive craniectomy after closed head injury in mice

Frontiers in Neurology, 2023
BackgroundThe use of decompressive craniectomy in traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains a matter of debate. According to the DECRA trial, craniectomy may have a negative impact on functional outcome, while the RescueICP trial revealed a positive effect of

Effect of Decompressive Craniectomy on Perihematomal Edema in Patients with Intracerebral Hemorrhage. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Perihematomal edema contributes to secondary brain injury in the course of intracerebral hemorrhage. The effect of decompressive surgery on perihematomal edema after intracerebral hemorrhage is unknown.

Case Report: Decompressive Craniectomy for COVID-19 Malignant Cerebral Artery Infarction. Is Surgery a Good Option?

Frontiers in Neurology, 2021
SARS-CoV2 infection can lead to a prothrombotic state. Large vessel occlusion, as well as malignant cerebral stroke have been described in COVID-19 patients. In the following months, given the increase in COVID-19 cases, an increase in malignant cerebral

Transient ischemic attack post craniectomy: A case report and review of sinking skin flap syndrome

Interdisciplinary Neurosurgery, 2020
There is evidence of disrupted cerebral blood flow in patients with a skull defect due to decompressive craniectomy though the pathophysiologic mechanism is yet to be established. Here we report on a patient who suffered one episode of transient ischemic

Changes in Posttraumatic Brain Edema in Craniectomy-Selective Brain Hypothermia Model Are Associated With Modulation of Aquaporin-4 Level

Frontiers in Neurology, 2018
Both hypothermia and decompressive craniectomy have been considered as a treatment for traumatic brain injury. In previous experiments we established a murine model of decompressive craniectomy and we presented attenuated edema formation due to focal ...
