Craniotomia descompressiva bifrontal no tratamento do edema cerebral grave

Abstract: A despeito dos variados recursos medicamentosos e de terapia intensiva que atualmente dispomos, o edema cerebral ainda é um dos grandes problemas que o neurocirurgião enfrenta, ceifando a vida de numerosos pacientes. Não existe até o presente método ideal para seu tratamento, tendo sérias restrições todas as drogas empregadas, em virtude dos efeitos colaterais, que muitas vezes impedem seu uso prolongado ou mesmo sua indicação. Por outro lado, certos tipos de edema cerebral, como o que ocorre em casos de traum… Show more

“…Some studies have shown that bifrontal decompressive craniotomy can effectively reduce intracranial pressure (ICP) and increase cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) in patients with refractory intracranial hypertension and bilateral diffuse brain swelling [ 10 ]. Unlike other types of craniotomy, bifrontal decompressive craniotomy was designed to directly relieve ICP from the anterior cranial cavity [ 11 , 12 ]. This method can effectively reduce ICP, stabilize intracranial structures, reduce secondary brain damage, and lower the risk of recurrence of central hernia caused by extensive, intractable cerebral edema.…”

“…12 Good results with this technique were reported by Heppner and associates, 30 Alexander, et al, 1 and Gower, et al, 25 even though this form of trephination faces the risk of temporal lobe herniation and necrosis. 36 Bifrontal craniectomy was performed with good results by Pereira, et al, 49 and Polin, et al 52 Venes and Collins, 66 Goncalves da Silva and associates, 24 and Kjellberg and Prieto 38 had less convincing results. They reported a decrease in the incidence of mortality at the price of an increase in that of morbidity after the procedure.…”
