Although the conventional role of the operation was that of a salvage procedure when medical therapy failed in the treatment of raised intracranial pressure (ICP), two important concepts have emerged in the recent literature that appear to challenge that approach. In addition to the lack of evidence supporting benefit from current forms of treament, evidence from diverse studies that use data from magnetic resonance images, cerebral owygenation and cerebral blood flow measurements have highlighted potential adverse effects that may occur with these therapies. 2014-07-28T14:29:17Z 2014-07-28T14:29:17Z 2005 Master Thesis Masters MMed http://hdl.handle.net/11427/2883 eng application/pdf Division of Neurosurgery Faculty of Health Sciences University of Cape Town |
