Decompressive Craniectomy (DC) is used to treat elevated intracranial pressure that is unresponsive to conventional treatment modalities. The underlying cause of intracranial hypertension may vary and consequently there is a broad range of literature on the uses of this procedure.

The role of decompressive craniectomy in the treatment of severe posttraumatic cerebral swelling remains quite a controversial issue. To the best of our knowledge, there is no study demonstrating the effect of decompressive craniectomy on cerebral blood flow (CBF) velocity by means of transcranial Doppler sonography (TCD).

Moreover, most of the paradoxical herniation cases ...
متن کاملBone Flap Resorption Following Cranioplasty after Decompressive Craniectomy: Preliminary Report
OBJECTIVE Resorption of autologous bone flap grafts is a known long-term complication of cranioplasty following decompressive craniectomy (DC). We analyzed our data to identify risk factors for bone flap resorption (BFR) following cranioplasty. METHODS A total of 162 patients who underwent cranioplasty following DC due to life-threatening elevated intracranial pressure between October 2003 an...
