DOES DECOMPRESSIVE CRANIOTOMY HAS BETTER OUTCOME- AN EXPERIENCE OF LEVEL 2 TRAUMA CENTER

Dr Dinesh kumar Rajput, Dr Neeraj singh Rajput, Dr Sucheta Rajput

Abstract


Severe head injuries are managed with conservative treatment but in refractory cases, decompressive craniotomies are indicated t as a last resort to reduce raised intracranial pressure. In present study, we tried to know functional outcome of decompressive craniotomies(1), severe head injury patients.


Keywords
