Decompressive craniectomy in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage: can favorable outcome be achieved?
aSAH patients treated with DC presented with severe primary brain injuries and signs of intracranial hypertension. DC resulted in radiological improvements regarding mass effect and a low rate of postoperative complications. Although the results were based on a selected population of aSAH patients, an encouraging rate of favorable outcome was found, particularly among younger patients. However, the absence of additional outcome predictors underscores the ongoing challenges in improving patient selection for DC in aSAH.
