AGUIRRE, Emilio A; CUELLO, Javier F e PURVES, Cynthia P. Coma secundario a síndrome del trefinado. Medicina (B. Aires) [online]. 2018, vol.78, n.4, pp.282-285. ISSN 0025-7680.
The syndrome of the trephined or craniectomized is commonly referred as neurological manifestations associated to skin flap depression and reversible after craneoplasty, which allows its differentiation from post-traumatic syndrome. We present the case of a male patient, 36 years old, with history of decompressive craniectomy. He evolved with sudden neurological worsening associated to syndrome of the trephined and recovery after craneoplasty. Physiopathology of the syndrome involves cerebrovascular, metabolic and cerebrospinal fluid hydrodynamic disturbances as well as parenchymal hyperdynamic mechanisms. Cranioplasty is the gold standard treatment. Still, studies with statistical power are needed to assess correct surgical timing.
