SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to develop and validate a practical nomogram to predict the occurrence of post-traumatic hydrocephalus in patients who have undergone decompressive craniectomy for traumatic brain injury. METHODS: A total of 516 cases were enrolled and divided into the training (n=36...
Introduction Low-velocity penetrating brain injury is not prevalent. In some conditions
such as childhood, and with the penetration of a pellet in weak spots of skull,
low-velocity penetrating brain injury is expected; however, high-velocity projectiles
have also been reported as the cause of severe brai...

Crossbow injuries to the head have seldom been reported in the literature, and they
represent a unique type of penetrating brain injury (PBI) in which a low-velocity arrow
results in an intracranial fragment larger than most high-velocity projectiles, usually
with a lethal outcome.We present the case of ...
Introducción: El traumatismo craneoencefálico corresponde a cambios y alteraciones que sufre el encéfalo, sus envolturas meníngeas, la bóveda craneal o los tejidos blandos epicraneales por la acción de agentes físicos vulnerantes. Objetivo: Identificar los factores de riesgo modificables y no m...
Introduction Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of mortality around the world.
Few advances regarding surgical approaches have been made in the past few years to
improve its outcomes. Microsurgical cisternostomy is a well-established technique used in
vascular and skull base surgery and recent...
Abstract Purpose To investigate the role of Rosmarinic acid (RA) in the prevention of traumatic brain injury and the immunohistochemical analysis of IBA-1 and GFAP expressions. Methods Healthy male rats were randomly divided into 3 groups consisting of 10 rats. Groups were as follows; control group, tr...

ABSTRACT Background: Decompressive craniectomy is a procedure required in some cases of traumatic brain injury (TBI). This manuscript evaluates the direct costs and outcomes of decompressive craniectomy for TBI in a developing country and describes the epidemiological profile. Methods: A retrospective ...
A 25-year-old patient was admitted to the emergency room presenting headaches after
a traumatic brain injury (TBI) 30 days before, when he collided frontally with another
driver. After a skull radiography, the presence of a foreign body was observed in the
frontal sinus. A cranial computed tomography (CT...
Introducción: la reconstrucción de defectos de la bóveda craneana constituye un reto para el cirujano. Durante las últimas décadas, muchas han sido las variantes quirúrgicas para su aplicación, así como los materiales utilizados para ello. Objetivo: mostrar los resultados en la realización de cr...
