Abstract

The trephined syndrome is a relatively rare complication after a large skull bone defect, consisting of a sunken skin above the bone defect with neurological symptoms such as severe headaches, mental changes, focal deficits, or seizures. Emerging data show improvements in the patients neurological status after cranioplasty, i.e. the surgical intervention to repair cranial defects. Herein we report a 55-year-old man who attended our Neurorehabilitation Research Institute for a chronic disorder of consciousness (DOC) due to a severe right nucleo-capsular hemorrhage. His motor and neuropsychological status greatly improved after cranioplasty. Our results confirmed previous reports that cranioplasty may significantly improve neuropsychological and motor function, as evaluated by specific tests, in patients with skull bone defects, and even in patients with DOC.

Özet

Trephined sendromu büyük bir kafatası kemik defektinin nispeten nadir bir komplikasyonudur ve kemik defektinin üzerinde içeri çökmüş deri görünümü ve şiddetli baş ağrıları, zihinsel değişiklikler, fokal defisitler veya havaleler gibi nörolojik belirtilerden oluşur. Elimizdeki veriler, hastaların nörolojik durumunun kraniyal defektlerin onarımı için kullanılan bir cerrahi girişim olan kraniyoplasti sonrasında düzeldiğini göstermektedir. Burada şiddetli sağ nükleo-kapsüler kanama nedeniyle kronik bilinç bozukluğu olan ve Nörorehabilitasyon Araştırma Enstitümüze gelen 55 yaşında bir hastayı sunuyoruz. Hastanın motor ve nöropsikolojik durumu kraniyoplasti sonrasında büyük iyileşme gösterdi. Sonuçlarımız kraniyoplastinin kafatası kemiği defektleri ve hatta bilinç bozukluğu durumu olan hastalarda spesifik testlerle belirlendiği şekilde nöropsikolojik ve motor işlevi önemli ölçüde düzeltebileceğini bildiren önceki raporları doğrulamıştır.
