Background: The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the causes and risk factors of an unplanned second craniotomy in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Methods: A total of 219 patients with TBI who underwent initial unilateral intracranial supratentorial surgery between January 2016 to November 2021 were included. We evaluated the causes of an unplanned second craniotomy in 40 patients, and analyzed the risk factors for a contralateral second craniotomy in 21 patients using a multivariate logistic regression analysis.
Results: The most common cause for an unplanned second craniotomy was delayed or enlarged hematoma in the non-operation area (26/40; 65%), followed by recurrent hematoma in the operation area (8/40; 20%), ipsilateral massive cerebral infarction (3/40; 7.5%), diffuse brain swelling (2/40; 5%) and enlarged cerebral contusion (1/40; 2.5%). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that a contralateral craniocerebral injury feature (CCIF) (OR = 13.175), defined on preoperative computerized tomography scanning, was independent risk factor for a contralateral second craniotomy.
Conclusions: An unplanned second craniotomy in patients with TBI was mainly related to delayed or enlarged hematoma. An increased risk of a contralateral second craniotomy occurs in patients with CCIF.

Schwannomas (SCs) are benign tumors composed of neoplastic Schwann cells and are relatively uncommon intracranially. Although these tumors are frequently associated with neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2), they may also arise idiopathically, and their pathogenesis remains poorly understood. A 70-year-old Caucasian man presented with a two-month history of vertigo, gait imbalance, and decreased visual acuity in the left eye accompanied by photophobia, nausea, vomiting, and occasional headaches.

Background And Objectives: Patients who undergo craniotomy are at risk of developing seizures during the postoperative period. Preoperative serum potassium as an important potential risk factor has not been investigated yet.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study involving adults undergoing elective craniotomy at West China Hospital, from January 2011 and March 2021.
Relationship between cumulative blood pressure exposure within the early brain injury time window and delayed cerebral ischemia and rebleeding in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage after aneurysm clipping: a retrospective study.

Delayed cerebral ischemia, one of the most common complications following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, was strongly related to poor patient outcomes. However, there are currently no clear guidelines to provide clinical guidance for post-craniotomy management. Our research aims to explore the association between cumulative blood pressure exposure during the early brain injury phase and the occurrence of delayed cerebral infarction and rebleeding following surgical aneurysm clipping.

Background: The main surgical interventions for chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) include craniotomy for hematoma evacuation, neuroendoscopic hematoma evacuation, and burr hole drainage.However, elderly patients often present with significant comorbidities, which limit their ability to tolerate general anesthesia and invasive surgical procedures.Minimally invasive soft-channel drainage under local anesthesia has emerged as a viable alternative, particularly suitable for elderly patients or those with high surgical risk.
