Decompressive Craniectomy in Pregnant Women

Journal of Neurological Surgery Part A: Central European Neurosurgery, 2021
AbstractMalignant middle cerebral artery (MCA) infarction warranting decompressive craniectomy (DC) is unusual in the population younger than 40 years. Specifically, only a few cases affecting pregnant women have been described in the literature. We present the case of a 39-year-old woman in the 24th week of pregnancy who suffered a right malignant MCA

Editorial: Decompressive craniectomy

Journal of Neurosurgery, 2012
The 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?

Decompressive craniectomy with lattice duraplasty

Acta Neurochirurgica, 2004
A method of opening dura for decompressive craniectomies is described. Numerous cuts intersecting in a lattice pattern allow the dura to expand in a gradual and controlled manner minimising the chances of cortical laceration or venous kinking on the craniectomy edge.

Decompressive Craniectomy in Neurocritical Care

Seminars in Neurology, 2016
Neurosurgeons increasingly use decompressive craniectomy (DC) in neurocritical care. In this review, the authors summarize the topic of DC for the neurointensivist. Following a brief overview of the procedure, the major indications for the procedure are described.

The current status of decompressive craniectomy

British Journal of Neurosurgery, 2009
Decompressive Craniectomy (DC) continues to be widely practiced but remains controversial. The procedure has its origins thousands of years ago, with early trepanation performed for a range of medical and religious reasons. We summarize the history, techniques, complications and pathophysiology and then explore in detail the recent evidence base for ...

Decompressive craniectomy in head injury

Current Opinion in Critical Care, 2004
To examine the evidence for the role of decompressive craniectomy in the management of traumatic brain injury.This review highlights the importance of brain swelling and raised intra-cranial pressure (ICP) as of the one fundamental pathophysiological processes following traumatic brain injury.

Decompressive Craniectomy in Neurocritical Care

Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2015
Decompressive craniectomy (DC) involves the removal of a portion of the skull in the setting of life threatening brain edema or potentially uncontrollable intracranial pressures. Often performed on an emergent basis, evaluation and arrangement for DC should be swift and decisive.

DECOMPRESSIVE CRANIECTOMY FOR INTRACEREBRAL HEMORRHAGE

Neurosurgery, 2009
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) has a high mortality rate and leaves most survivors disabled. The dismal outcome is mostly due to the mass effect of hematoma plus edema. Major clinical trials show no benefit from surgical or medical treatment. Decompressive craniectomy has, however, proven beneficial for large ischemic brain infarction with massive ...

Decompressive craniectomy: A new complication

Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, 2009
There is an increasing amount of published literature supporting the use of decompressive craniectomy in the management of raised intracranial pressure and it appears that this procedure will become established as a method by which intracranial hypertension can be treated.

Osteoplastic decompressive craniotomy—an alternative to decompressive craniectomy

Acta Neurochirurgica, 2011
In spite of various degrees of brain expansion, decompressive surgery is usually carried out using decompressive craniectomy (DC). After craniectomy it is necessary to perform cranioplasty, which prolongs hospitalization and is not always without complications.
