概要	Background: To maximize control of the intracranial pressure in deeply comatose patients with malignant cerebral swelling, combination of the surgical techniques for internal and external brain decompression may be reasonable, as demonstrated in the presented case. Case description: A 55-year-old man was admitted with Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score 4, maximally dilated pupils, and absence of the pupillary light and vestibulo-ocular reflexes. Head CT revealed massive acute subdural hematoma, prominent brain shift with subfalcine and transtentorial herniation, and diffuse subarachnoid hemorrhage. Large size decompressive craniectomy and evacuation of subdural hematoma were done, however, prominent swelling of the brain and its protrusion through the bone defect remained. Therefore, extensive temporal lobectomy and removal of the bulk of temporal muscle were additionally attained followed by lax duraplasty. Gradual recovery of the patient was noted from the 1st postoperative day, and on the 70th day, his GCS score was 4T4. Three months later, his condition corresponded to the Glasgow Outcome Scale score 3 (severe disability). Conclusion: Aggressive internal and external decompression with combination of large size craniectomy, extensive temporal lobectomy, removal of the bulk of temporal muscle, and lax duraplasty should be considered as possible life-saving option in cases of neurosurgical emergencies with malignant cerebral swelling.
