Bifrontal contusions occur in about 20% of moderate traumatic brain injury cases and are caused by acceleration/deceleration forces pushing the inferior frontal lobes against the irregular skull base. Hemorrhagic swelling of these contusions can disrupt structures involved in behavior control and personality. When these contusions swell, the brain is displaced posteriorly, which can lead to herniation and deterioration of brain stem function. Aggressive surgical resection of the contusions may worsen neurological outcomes, so surgical decompression through bifrontal craniectomy is preferable to prevent rapid herniation in patients with progressive swelling.
