Abstract:

Decompressive craniotomy (DCT) has been used for treatment of patients with acute aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) for more than 20 years. But so far, the attitude to this surgery is controversial, and the indications and contraindications for it are not clearly defined. The article reviews the domestic and foreign literature devoted to the issues of validity and efficacy of DCT in treatment of cerebral edema and intracranial hypertension in patients with aneurysmal SAH.

Keywords:
