1 maj 2021 · Extra-axial fluid collections (EACs) frequently develop after decompressive craniectomy. Management of EACs remains poorly understood, and information on how to predict their clinical course is inadequate. We aimed to better characterize EACs, understand predictors of their resolution, and delineate the best treatment paradigm for patients.

Methods: We reviewed patients who developed EACs after undergoing decompressive craniectomy for treatment of refractory intracranial pressure elevations. We excluded patients who had an ischemic stroke, as EACs in these patients have a different clinical course.
Decompressive craniectomy (DC) is a surgical technique aiming to open the “closed box” represented by the non-expandable skull in cases of refractory intracranial hypertension.
14 paź 2014 · Interest in decompressive craniectomy (DC) to manage neurological emergencies including stroke has waxed and waned for decades. The best evidence for the use of DC is in patients with refractory cerebral edema related to large territory ischemic stroke.
