The Management of Patients with Intradural Post-Traumatic Mass Lesions: A Multicenter Survey of Current Approaches to Surgical Management in 729 Patients Coordinated by the European Brain Injury Consortium

Abstract

The results provide a contemporary picture of neurosurgical surgical approaches to the management of head injured patients with an intradural mass lesion and/or signs of raised intracranial pressure in some Neurosurgical Units across the world. The relative benefits of early versus delayed surgery in patients with intraparenchymal lesions and on the indications, technique and benefits of decompressive craniectomy could be topics for future head injury research.
