Management and Outcomes of Pediatric Craniopharyngioma: A 15-Year Experience in Singapore.

Background: Craniopharyngiomas arise from the Rathke pouch and account for 1.2%-18.4% of pediatric primary brain tumors.

Closure intracranial pressure is an objective intraoperative determinant of the adequacy of surgical decompression in traumatic acute subdural haematoma: a multicentre observational study.

Purpose: Acute subdural haematoma (ASDH) is associated with severe traumatic brain injury and poor outcomes. Although guidelines exist for the decompression of ASDH, the question of adequate decompression remains unanswered. The authors examined the relationship of intracranial pressure (ICP) on closure with outcomes to determine its utility in the determination of adequate ASDH decompression.

Intracranial Pressure as an Objective Biomarker of Decompression Adequacy in Large Territory Infarction: A Multicenter Observational Study.

Background: Decompressive craniectomy (DC) improves the survival and functional outcomes in patients with malignant cerebral infarction. Currently, there are no objective intraoperative markers that indicates adequate decompression. We hypothesise that closure intracranial pressure (ICP) correlates with postoperative outcomes.
