Craniectomy is a procedure performed to treat craniostenosis or to relieve increased intracranial pressure
pressure in the skull
Surgical intervention is typically performed to treat a patient with craniostenosis. The surgery involves the reshaping of the skull to correct the abnormal fusion of the cranial sutures. In cases of increased intracranial pressure, a shunt may be placed to divert excess cerebrospinal fluid from the brain to another part of the body, relieving the pressure.
In rare instances, CSF from a lumbar puncture cannot be examined because the amount of swelling within the skull is so great that the pressure within the skull (intracranial pressure) is extremely high.
