Decompressive craniectomy (DC) is a useful technique for the treatment of traumatic brain injuries (TBI) with intracranial hypertension (ICHT) resistant to medical treatment, increasing survival, although its role in the functional prognosis of patients is not defined. It is also a technique that is not without complications, and may increase the patient's morbidity and mortality. We report two cases of patients with TBI who required DC and suffered complications from the technique.
减压性颅骨切除术(DC)是治疗对药物治疗耐药的颅内高压(ICHT)性创伤性脑损伤(TBI)的一种有用技术,可提高生存率,尽管其在患者功能预后中的作用尚不明确。这也是一种并非没有并发症的技术,可能会增加患者的发病率和死亡率。我们报告了两例需要进行DC且该技术引发并发症的TBI患者。
