Objective To evaluate the value of standard large trauma craniotomy in frontotemporal and parietal contrecoup craniocerebral injury.Methods Forty-six patients with frontotemporal and parietal contrecoup craniocerebral injury were treated by standard large trauma craniotomy. Based on GOS, the clinical curative effect and complications of these patients during 3 to 6 months after operation were evaluated.Results 22 cases (47.83%) recovered well, 6 cases (13.04%) suffered from moderate disability, 4 cases (8.7%) remained severe disability, and 14 cases (30.43%) died.
