Background: Decompressive hemicraniectomy (DHC) can be a life-saving treatment for patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) with a focal mass lesion who develop refractory elevated intracranial pressure (ICP). Nonetheless, successful completion of this procedure requires maintaining hemodynamic and respiratory stability. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) use in patients with respiratory or cardiac failure is well described in the literature and has become routinely used in patients with refractory hypoxia unresponsive to traditional mechanical ventilation strategies, but few cases of its use have been reported in the neurosurgical literature.

Case Presentation: A 67-year-old patient with high-risk prostate cancer underwent staging with 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT (PSMA-PET/CT).
