Abstract：Objective The post-traumatic cerebral infarction imaging features and clinical characteristics are investigated, and the effect of decompressive craniectomy for post-traumatic cerebral infarction is evaluated .Methods A total of 40 cases of traumatic cerebral infarction including clinical and imaging data were analyzed retrospectively from January 2010 to August 2013.Results The overall mortality rate of post-traumatic cerebral infarction was 80%. GCS score at admission was the most valuable prognostic indicator .The results showed GCS score less than 5 presaged high mortality rates (P<0.05).Conclusion For those who does not develop into malignant post-traumatic cerebral infarction and those with GCS more than 5, early decompressive craniectomy should be considered in order to avoid the irreversible cerebral infarction .
