What is performed to treat a patient with craniostenosis or to relieve increased intracranial pressure?

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.


Why in some cases of meningitis is it impossible to examine the CSF?

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.
