Normobaric hyperoxia therapy for traumatic brain injury and stroke: a review.

abstract：:Subfalcine brain herniation is well documented in the presence of raised intracranial pressure. However, we report a case of herniation occurring after decompression of bilateral chronic subdural haematomas, which did not appear to be related to high pressure. We suggest that after rapid decompression of a collection,...
