Decompressive craniectomy in severe traumatic brain injuries: Indications, outcomes and the usefulness of transcranial doppler

Abstract

Background: The place of transcranial Doppler in the management of all severe traumatic brain injury remains today important in therapeutic decision-making. The decompressive craniectomy for him remains a little controversial. Objective: In a prospective series of patients with severe TBI, we aimed to determine the usefulness of TCD and the outcomes of severe TBI treated with decompressive craniectomy in a low-resource setting.
