Intracranial pressure in children and adolescents with severe head injuries.

Long-term ICP monitoring was carried out in 53 children and adolescents with severe head injuries. 36 of them exhibited bilateral decerebrate posturing and 13 bilateral pupil unresponsiveness. The highest ICP levels never exceeded 10 mmHg in 3 patients, ranged between 11 and 20 mmHg in 12 and between 21 and 50 in 16. Fifteen patients showed sustained intracranial hypertension over 50 mmHg. Six patients died from fulminating intracranial hypertension and 21 died later (average survival 10.1 days). Five patients remained severely disabled and 21 satisfactorily recovered. Seven patients with the highest degrees of intracranial hypertension survived, in all of them ICP reached its peak more than 72 hours after injury. Early hypertension exceeding 50 mmHg always proved fatal. Four patients with mild hypertension but with very high elastance on P/V tests died. Although children and adolescents may withstand higher degrees of intracranial hypertension than adults, outcome remains poor despite active therapy in ICU patients with deep stabilised coma.

[Kyphotic paraplegia treated by antero-lateral transthoracic decompression and double autograft].

The authors describe a case of malformative kyphosis with paraplegia, treated by transthoracic antero-lateral decompression and anterior spinal fusion by posterior spinal fusion six weeks later. The result of the surgical treatment has been excellent with complete functional recovery. The spinal fusion seems to be the main element of the treatment, by contrast it is impossible to assess the role played by the antero-lateral decompression.
