Acute intra-operative brain swelling managed effectively with emergency basal cisternostomy: A case report
Journal Title: Journal of Acute Disease - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
The cisternostomy is a novel technique for the management of intracranial hypertension. Intracranial hypertension is the most frequent cause of mortality in patients with acute brain injury. The availability of a less aggressive technique compared to decompressive craniectomy is an advantage for neurosurgeons. We presented a case that demonstrates the successful use of this technique.
