Complications of decompressive craniectomy for traumatic brain injury.

abstract：OBJECT:Arachnoid cysts are commonly encountered fluid collections in the central nervous system. Recent advances in neuroimaging have translated into an increased detection of these cysts; that is, diagnoses can be made more frequently at earlier stages. Significant advances have also been made in the surgical manageme...
