Intraoperative initial intracranial pressure demonstrates high diagnostic efficacy for postoperative intestinal mucosal barrier dysfunction following severe traumatic brain injury.

Objective: To investigate the risk factors and their diagnostic efficacy for postoperative intestinal mucosal barrier dysfunction (IBD) following severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI).

Methods: There were 140 patients with sTBI enrolled in this study. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to assess the relationship between the clinical data and postoperative IBD in sTBI patients and determine the independent risk factors.

Traumatic carotid-cavernous fistula with perimedullary venous drainage and delayed myelopathy: A case report.

Traumatic carotid-cavernous fistula (TCCF) with perimedullary venous drainage and delayed myelopathy is a relatively rare clinical lesion. Endovascular embolization using embolic agents is the preferred treatment for patients with a poor collateral circulation. The present study describes the case of a 45-year-old male with TCCF, who presented with progressive cervical myelopathy for 1 month.
