A successful initial management of a penetrating head trauma in a rural district hospital: Case report.

Trauma Case Rep

February 2025

Faculty of Health Sciences, Comparative Anatomy and Experimental Histopathology and Surgery, Université des Montagnes, Bangangté, West Cameroon, Cameroon.

Penetrating head trauma is the most fatal form of head injury. Although many cases of penetrating head trauma have been reported in the literature, its management remains complex, requiring a multidisciplinary team, which makes it a challenge in district hospitals where human resources and technical equipment are limited. We aim to present a successful initial management of a case of penetrating head trauma in a rural district hospital before a transfer to a first category hospital.

The brain, as a vital part of central nervous system, receives approximately 25% of body's blood supply, making accurate monitoring of cerebral blood flow essential. While fNIRS is widely used for measuring brain physiology, complex tissue structure affects light intensity, spot size, and detection accuracy. Many studies rely on simulations with limited experimental validation.

Objective: Increased intracranial pressure (ICP) can worsen the clinical condition of traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients. One non-invasive and easily bedside-performed technique to estimate ICP is ultrasonographic measurement of optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD). This study aimed to analyze ONSD and correlate it with ICP values obtained by intraparenchymal monitoring to establish the ONSD threshold value for elevated ICP and reference range of ONSD in severe TBI patients.

Introduction: Meningiomas are the most common primary central nervous system tumors, often requiring surgical resection. Presurgical embolization (PSE) is used to reduce intraoperative bleeding, although its effectiveness varies. This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of PSE using ethyl-vinyl alcohol (EVOH) in meningioma surgeries.
