Risk factors for complications following titanium mesh cranioplasty.
Acta Neurochir (Wien)
December 2024
Background: Studies on complications following titanium mesh cranioplasty have predominantly focused on patients with cranial defects after decompressive craniectomy. This study investigates possible risk factors for complications using titanium mesh for smaller cranial defects.
Methods: All patients treated with titanium mesh cranioplasty over a 5-year period at Copenhagen University Hospital were identified.
Article Synopsis
- Patients with acute brain injuries like SAH and TBI can experience hidden deterioration that traditional monitoring might miss.
- A study involving 94 patients indicated significant links between elevated intracranial pressure, inadequate cerebral perfusion, hypoxia, and metabolic crises.
- Despite normal readings for intracranial pressure, brain hypoxia was found in 40% of SAH and 31% of TBI cases, showing the need for multimodal neuromonitoring to catch these issues and inform treatment.
Purpose: Hydrocephalus presents diagnostic and management challenges due to its heterogeneity. The ASPECT Hydrocephalus System, introduced in 2023, offers a comprehensive approach to describing patients with hydrocephalus. This study investigates the clinical applicability of the ASPECT Hydrocephalus System compared to the International Classification of Disease (ICD-10) and demonstrates its utility.

By contrast, the pupillary light-off reflex leads to pupil dilation in response to an abrupt change from light to darkness ("light-off") and reflects combined parasympathetic and sympathetic pupillary function. To our knowledge, this reflex has not been systematically investigated in patients with disorders of consciousness.
