Decompressive craniectomy: The potential association with long-term functional outcomes in children with traumatic brain injury.

BACKGROUND Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the leading cause of death and disability in pediatric patients. However, TBI management widely varies due to a lack of high-quality evidence in pediatric population. We aimed to determine the association of decompressive craniectomy (DC) on long-term functional independence i...

Outcome Analysis of Early Decompressive Craniectomy vs Craniotomy in Traumatic Brain Injury

Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of death and long-term disability, and severe cases may require surgical intervention to control intracranial hypertension, evacuate traumatic hematomas, and prevent secondary brain injury. Although decompressive craniectomy (DC) may be life-saving in patients w...
