Abstract:
We report the case of a young patient with post‐traumatic, intractable, intracranial hypertension leading to craniectomy. This intracranial hypertension was preceded by focal signs of ischemia diagnosed through P ti o 2 monitoring and cerebral microdialysis, and occurred a few hours prior to a decrease in cerebral perfusion pressure below 60 mmHg. The neurological outcome was satisfactory with a Glasgow Outcome Scale of 4 at 3 months. We discuss the potential interest of such neuro‐monitoring to determine the optimal time for performing a craniectomy.
