Late decompressive craniectomyafter traumatic brain injury: neurological outcome at 6 months after ICU discharge

Abstract

In our sample, a late craniectomy in patients with refractory intracranial hypertension produced a comparable 6-months neurological outcome if compared to patients responder to standard treatment. This data must be reproduced and confirmed before considering as goal-treatment in refractory intracranial hypertension.
