Analysis of direct costs of decompressive craniectomy in victims of traumatic brain injury

Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria
Background: Decompressive craniectomy is a procedure required in some cases of traumatic brain injury (TBI). This manuscript evaluates the direct costs and outcomes of decompressive craniectomy for TBI in a developing country and describes the ...

Does Early Decompressive Craniectomy Improve Outcome? Experience from an Active UK Recruiter Centre

Case Reports in Critical Care, 2013
Introduction. The results of the recent DECRA study suggest that although craniectomy decreases ICP and ICU length of stay, it is also associated with worst outcomes.

Severe Traumatic Brain Injury in Early Adulthood and Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy: Still an Overlooked Association?

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Recent research has increasingly recognized a potential link between severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) decades ago and the later development of cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA). Although the precise mechanisms linking these two pathologies are incompletely understood, there is a hypothesis that TBI may disrupt amyloid β (Aβ) turnover, with ...

From Sound to Silence: Cerebellar Abscesses and Herniation Due to Cochlear Implant Infection With Escherichia coli and Bacteroides fragilis

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Cochlear implantation (CI) is a safe and well‐established intervention for sensorineural hearing loss, with a low incidence of severe postoperative infections. We present the first reported case of cerebellar abscess and herniation due to CI infection. This unique case involves a 57‐year‐old man with recurrent cochlear implant infections, necessitating

Clinically Inspired Multimodal Treatment Using Induced Neural Stem Cells‐Derived Exosomes Promotes Recovery of Traumatic Brain Injury through Microglial Modulation

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 46, December 11, 2025.
This study explores the therapeutic potential of iNSC‐Exo via local and systemic delivery in TBI mice. It is found that iNSC‐Exo enhances NRXN signaling through Microglia_Nrg3 and Microglia_Rarb, effectively promoting functional and neurological recovery, suggesting a new therapeutic strategy for TBI. Abstract Traumatic brain injury (TBI) poses serious

Technical Considerations in Decompressive Craniectomy in the Treatment of Traumatic Brain Injury

International Journal of Medical Sciences, 2010
Refractory intracranial hypertension is a leading cause of poor neurological outcomes in patients with severe traumatic brain injury. Decompressive craniectomy has been used in the management of refractory intracranial hypertension for about a century ...
