Decompressive Craniectomy in Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage: A Case-Control Study

摘要

BACKGROUND: Decompressive craniectomy is performed to relieve intracranial pressure as an emergency procedure. There is no large study to systematically evaluate the benefit of decompressive craniectomy versus best medical therapy. This study evaluates the survival and long-term functional outcomes of decompressive craniectomy for spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage.
