Síndrome do trefinado: relato de caso

Resumo

Síndrome do trefinado é atualmente uma complicação comum na neurotraumatologia, sendo descrita como uma síndrome na qual ocorre deterioração neurológica acompanhada de sinais e sintomas após a remoção de uma parte considerável de osso do crânio, assim como ocorre na hemicraniectomia. Neste artigo, juntamente com a revisão de literatura, será relatado o caso de um paciente adulto, vítima de acidente automobilístico, com história de traumatismo cranioencefálico (TCE) grave que foi submetido à craniectomia terapêutica, cursando com a síndrome do trefinado.

Abstract

“Syndrome of the Trephined” or “Sinking Skin Flap Syndrome” is an usual syndrome in which neurological deterioration occurs following removal of a large skull bone flap (for example, in descompressive craniectomy). In this article, we will report the case of a 24 years old male, victim of an automobile accident with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), which developed the Syndrome of the Trephined.
