Decompressive Craniectomy in a case of Severe Traumatic Brain Injury: To do or not to do- Two Case Reports
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 5
Abstract
Decompressive craniectomy as a surgical procedure to relieve raised hypertension has been performed in the early 20th century. However even after a century and despite numerous studies in this regard, the decision to conduct decompressive craniectomy still remains a dilemma. In our case report we discuss two cases of traumatic brain injury where the surgical team was faced with the challenge of performing the surgery in a peripheral hospital with a favorable post-operative outcome.
