Cerebral Infarction Following Unilateral Decompressive Craniectomy in Patients With Severe Traumatic Brain Injury: Incidence, Risk Factors, and Outcomes
Cerebral infarction is a prevalent and devastating complication that can occur after unilateral DC in patients with sTBI. This condition is linked to a poor prognosis and elevated mortality rates. Early identification of risk factors, including age, bilateral pupil dilation, and ASDH, is essential for guiding surgical decision-making and optimizing patient management.
