AMAÇTravmatik beyin ödemi, nöroşirürji pratiğinde sık karşıla-şılan önemli sorunlardan biridir. Beyin ödemi, kafaiçi basıncını yükseltmekte, morbidite ve mortalite artışına yol açmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı travmatik beyin ödemi tedavisinde hiperozmolar tuzların tedavi etkinliğinin saptanması ve mannitole göre karşılaştırılmasıdır. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEMBu deneysel çalışmada ağırlıkları 300-350 g arasında deği-şen 80 adet erkek erişkin Spraque-Dawley sıçanı kullanıldı. Sıçanlar kontrol; travma; sadece mannitol; travma sonrası mannitol; sadece %3 NaCl; travma sonrası %3 NaCl; sadece %7,5 NaCl; travma sonrası %7,5 NaCl; sadece %23,4 NaCl; travma sonrası %23.4 NaCl gruplarına ayrıldı. Tüm ilaçlar periton içine verildi. Travma ve ilaç uygulaması sonrası 24. saatte sıçanlar dekapite edildi, örnekler histopatolojik olarak incelendi. BULGULARTravma grubu ile travma sonrası %23,4 NaCl verilen grup arasında kanama açısından bir fark olmadığı (p=0,473), ödem açısından ise anlamlı fark (p=0,003) olduğu saptandı. Gruplar plazma osmolaritesi ve serum sodyum değerleri açısından karşılaştırıldığında kontrollerle diğer tüm gruplar arasında anlamlı fark bulunmadı. SONUÇ

“…The incidence of post-traumatic hydrocephalus has been found to range from 0.7 to 86% [9,10,11,12]. Various factors such as age, long duration of coma, associated subarachnoid haemorrhage and craniotomy have been reported to increase the risk of developing hydrocephalus.…”

Background: Post-craniectomy hydrocephalus in patients with intracranial hypertension is becoming a major concern for neurosurgeons because of the increasing number of hospital admissions for head trauma, stroke and other lesions which may lead to severe brain oedema requiring decompressive craniectomy. Methods: We collected records of all the paediatric patients who developed hydrocephalus following decompressive craniotomy from October 2011 to October 2013 and analysed their clinical profiles. Results: We had 3 patients in this group, ranging in age from 6 to 18 years; 1 patient died and the other 2 patients continue to remain in follow-up. Conclusion: Post-traumatic hydrocephalus is one of the rare complications of decompressive craniotomy; CSF diversion remains the only option for improvement in neurological status.
