Decompressive craniectomy is one of the most common procedures for managing severe traumatic brain injury. Cranioplasty plays a vital role in restoring the integrity of the skull and preventing complications that may arise after a decompressive craniectomy. This case report presents a 24-year-old woman who underwent cranioplasty with a cryopreserved autologous bone flap.

BACKGROUND Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt surgery is a widely used procedure for managing hydrocephalus; however, postoperative infections remain a serious complication, increasing morbidity and mortality. Known risk factors include prior surgeries, steroid use, and concurrent procedures. However, the role of liver cirrhosis, a condition that compromises immune function and predisposes patients to infections, has not been fully investigated in the context of neurosurgery.

Subcutaneous fluid accumulation in the bone window area is a common complication after decompressive craniectomy. If not promptly addressed, it may progress to serious complications such as intracranial infection and hydrocephalus, significantly affecting treatment outcomes and prognosis. However, there is currently no standardized approach for managing subcutaneous fluid accumulation.

Background And Purpose: Malignant middle cerebral artery infarction (MMI) is a severe condition with a high mortality rate. While decompressive hemicraniectomy has been demonstrated to reduce mortality, there is limited knowledge regarding blood pressure (BP) management following the surgery. This study aimed to investigate whether early blood pressure variability after surgery is associated with functional outcomes.

Background: Surgical interventions for spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) include conventional craniotomy (CC), decompressive craniectomy (DC), and minimally invasive surgery (MIS), with the latter encompassing endoscopic surgery (ES) and minimally invasive puncture surgery (MIPS). However, the superiority of surgery over conservative medical treatment (CMT) and the comparative benefits of different surgical procedures remain unclear. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of various surgical interventions for treating ICH.
