Background Two randomised trials assessing the effectiveness of decompressive
craniectomy (DC) following traumatic brain injury (TBI) were published in recent years …

Decompressive craniectomy (DC) has been used for many years in the management of
patients with elevated intracranial pressure and cerebral edema. Ongoing clinical trials are …

Epidural hematomas (EDHs) and subdural hematomas (SDHs), or so-called extra-axial
bleedings, are common clinical entities after a traumatic brain injury (TBI). A forensic …

Traumatic acute subdural hematoma (ASDH) is a major clinical entity in traumatic brain
injury (TBI). It acts as a space occupying lesion to increase intracranial pressure, and is often …

Background Acute subdural haematomas (ASDH) occur commonly following traumatic brain
injury and may be evacuated by either craniotomy (CR) or decompressive craniectomy (DC) …

Background Acute subdural hematoma (SDH) is a major cause of morbidity after severe
traumatic brain injury. Surgical evacuation of the hematoma, either via craniotomy or …

Background: Decompressive craniectomy (DC) is helpful in lowering the intracranial
pressure in patients with severe head injuries. However, it is still unclear which surgical …

Object Mass lesions from traumatic brain injury (TBI) often require surgical evacuation as a
life-saving measure and to improve outcomes, but optimal timing and surgical technique …

Objective Earlier reports have revealed that the incidence of posttraumatic hydrocephalus
(PTH) is higher among patients who underwent decompressive craniectomy (DC). The aim …

Objective The optimal surgical management of acute traumatic subdural hematoma (ASDH)
is controversial; both craniectomy and craniotomy are performed. The purpose of this study …
