Core Tip

Core Tip: Paradoxical herniation may be caused by high-pressure oxygen therapy after decompressive craniectomy has not been reported. Paradoxical herniation has been misdiagnosed by the neurosurgery department of subordinate hospitals and provincial neurological rehabilitation hospitals for many times, thus delaying treatment. This report is to improve the understanding of paradoxical herniation.
