Core Tip	A woman got traumatic brain injury and received decompressive craniectomy. Incision disunion and intracranial infection happened after operation, mass brain tissue flowed out from incision. The patient was in deep coma and need ventilator support, her cardiac rhythm was roughly normal. No brain tissue could be seen from cranial defect. The computed tomography showed only very few brain tissue density shadow compressed in the cerebellum and brain stem, none in rest of the cranial cavity. She died a few days later. This rare case provided us some clues that cardiac rhythm and vascular tension can be maintained with very few brain tissue.
