[The diagnosis and method of surgical treatment in dislocation of the brain under the falx cerebri in craniocerebral trauma].

In 6.6% of cases a severe craniocerebral trauma is accompanied with dislocation of the brain under the falx cerebri with incarceration of the cingulate gyrus. The diagnosis of dislocation under the falx in intracranial traumatic hematoma and brain contusion-crushing is discussed. Falxotomy may be among the methods for the prevention or correction of incarceration of the cingulate gyrus. The authors suggest an operative approach for performing falxotomy with little injury as well as a surgical instrument for one-stage clipping of the inferior sagittal sinus and its division.
