Impact of Cranioplasty on Rehabilitation Course of Patients with Traumatic or Hemorrhagic Brain Injury.

Post-DC cranioplasty was associated with better functional recovery six months after TBI but not in the patients with HS. Although the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying HS are different from those of TBI and possibly play a role in the different outcomes between the two groups, further studies are needed to investigate the mechanisms underlying the observed differences.
