Abstract

Decompressive craniectomy is a measure in the management of intracranial hypertension due to injuries that dont respond to initial measures. cranial defects may present multiple complications associated with management. Atmospheric pressure generates a force on adjacent brain parenchyma, conditioning dynamic alterations in cerebral and cerebrospinal flow.
