Brainstem hemorrhage following decompressive craniectomy

Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, 2012
Decompressive craniectomy (DC) is used for the management of refractory raised intracranial pressure, but the impact of DC on surgical outcome is still controversial. We report a 21-year-old man admitted to our hospital after a road traffic accident. The brain CT scan revealed a left hemispheric acute subdural hematoma.

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 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.

Effect of decompressive craniectomy in the postoperative expansion of traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage: a propensity score-based analysis.

Journal of Neurosurgery, 2020
OBJECTIVETraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (TICH) represents approximately 13%-48% of the lesions after a traumatic brain injury (TBI), and hemorrhagic progression (HP) occurs in 38%-63% of cases.

Cranioplasty Reverses Dysfunction of the Solutes Distribution in the Brain Parenchyma After Decompressive Craniectomy.

Neurosurgery, 2020
BACKGROUND Solutes distribution by the intracranial cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) fluxes along perivascular spaces and through interstitial fluid (ISF) play a key role in the clearance of brain metabolites, with essential functions in maintaining brain ...

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: technical note

Acta Neurologica Scandinavica, 2011
Decompressive craniectomy is a neurosurgical technique in which a portion of the skull is removed to reduce intracranial pressure. The rationale for this procedure is based on the Monro-Kellie Doctrine; expanding the physical space confining edematous brain tissue after traumatic brain injury will reduce intracranial pressure.

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.

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.
