A red flag for diagnosing brain death: decompressive craniectomy of the posterior fossa
Canadian Journal of Anesthesia/Journal canadien d'anesthésie, 2022 Brain death/death by neurologic criteria (BD/DNC) may be determined in many countries by a clinical examination that shows coma, brainstem areflexia, and apnea, provided the conditions causing reversible loss of brain function are excluded a priori.

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
