2018-07-08 12:11:13
Hi Doctor, My brother aged 20 had undergone a open skull surgery for a right cerebral infarct with decompressive craniotomy and its been 18 days now post surgery. Still he didn't opened his eyes nor any action from his body.. Can we expect a response from him? His lungs /heart and other parts are normal.
