Features of a craniocerebral injury received against the background of craniostenosis

Abstract

Examined 87 patients with craniostenosis at the age from 3 to 14 years, who had suffered a moderate craniocerebral injury. It was found that in the stage of compensation, a relatively mild traumatic brain injury leads to mild brain contusion. Treatment of patients in this category should be conservative, but longer than in patients without concomitant craniostenosis. In the decompensated stage of craniostenosis, a similar injury causes the development of moderate brain contusion. With severe cerebral edema, flap craniotomy is indicated, since conventional dehydration therapy is ineffective.
