Re-examining decompressive craniectomy medial margin distance from midline as a metric for calculating the risk of post-traumatic hydrocephalus.

Journal of clinical neuroscience, 2021
Decompressive craniectomy (DC) is a life-saving procedure in severe traumatic brain injury, but is associated with higher rates of post-traumatic hydrocephalus (PTH).

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

Contemporary Review on Craniectomy and Cranioplasty; Part 1: Decompressive Craniectomy

The Journal of craniofacial surgery (Print), 2021
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

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 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.

Decompressive craniectomy in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage: Who and when? - A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Clinical neurology and neurosurgery (Dutch-Flemish ed. Print), 2020
OBJECTIVE Decompressive craniectomy (DC) is a standard neurosurgical procedure against intractable intracranial hypertension. Patients with severe aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) are prone to intracranial hypertension, necessitating DC in ...

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 ...

Optimal bone flap size for decompressive craniectomy for refractory increased intracranial pressure in traumatic brain injury: taking the patient's head size into account.

World Neurosurgery, 2020
BACKGROUND Decompressive craniectomy (DC) is a widely used treatment of refractory high ICP. While the Brain trauma foundation guidelines favour large DC, there remains a lack of consensus regarding the optimal size of DC in relationship to the patient's

Early Decompressive Craniectomy as Management for Severe TBI in the Pediatric Population: A Comprehensive Literature Review.

World Neurosurgery, 2020
INTRODUCTION Severe traumatic brain injuries are a principal cause of neurologic dysfunction and death in the pediatric population. After medical management, the second-tier treatment is decompressive craniectomy in cases of intractable ICP elevation ...

Self-supervised Skull Reconstruction in Brain CT Images with Decompressive Craniectomy

International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention, 2020
Decompressive craniectomy (DC) is a common surgical procedure consisting of the removal of a portion of the skull that is performed after incidents such as stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI) or other events that could result in acute subdural ...
