Abstract

Severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) is when clinically the patient has a Glasgow coma score (GCS) from 3 to 8 points. Despite many advances in diagnosis, treatment and understanding of pathogenesis, doctors still face many difficulties to treat the condition. Treatment of severe TBI requires a combination of intensive care unit, medical, surgical, and functional rehabilitation measures, but the morbidity and mortality rates are still very high. We study the results of decompressive craniotomy (DC) for severe TBI on 68 patients, in one center, including 3 months postoperative follow-up. Preoperative clinical diagnosis according to GCS is as follows: 13.2% had GCS of 4 - 5 points, 86.8% had GCS scores of 6 - 8 points. Results after surgery according to Glasgow outcome scale (GOS): 1 - 3 points accounted for 48.53%, good results with GOS 4 - 5 points accounted for 51.47%. Factors that adversely affect the outcome of postoperative treatment are: low Glasgow coma scale (GCS), preoperative pupil dilation, on CT Scanner with midline shift ≥ 10mm, basal cistern effacement signal and Rotterdam score ≥ 5 points.
