Cerebral traumatic hernia. Magnant (Revue de chir., 1927, No. 7)

Magnant, speaking about the treatment of such hernias, distinguishes 1) prophylactic treatment consisting in primary craniectomy to remove fragments, foreign bodies and hematomas and flushing with physiological solution; 2) treatment of the hernia itself. Here the author is a supporter of Leriсhe's method, which consists in releasing the hernial pedicle and hernial base, expanding the bone defect and integrity of the hernial tumor itself.
