Craniectomy is a procedure performed to treat craniostenosis or to relieve increased intracranial pressure
Trepanning aka Trephining, a cylindrical or crown saw for the removal of a disk of bone, especially from the skull. The removal of the part of the skull to release pressure from an intracranial hemorrhage.

Craniectomy
A common procedure used to relieve rapidly increasing intracranial pressure is a surgical intervention called a decompressive craniectomy. This involves removing part of the skull to allow the brain to expand without being compressed, reducing the pressure inside the skull. It is often used in cases of severe traumatic brain injury or conditions like hemorrhagic stroke.
Increased intracranial pressure can lead to changes in blood pressure due to the body's compensatory mechanisms. Typically, there is an initial increase in blood pressure in response to increased intracranial pressure to maintain cerebral perfusion. However, as intracranial pressure continues to rise, blood pressure may decrease due to impaired cerebral autoregulation and compromised blood flow to the brain. Overall, the relationship between intracranial pressure and blood pressure is complex and can vary depending on individual factors and the underlying cause of increased intracranial pressure.
Increased intracranial pressure can be caused by various factors such as traumatic brain injury, brain tumors, hydrocephalus, cerebral edema, meningitis, and intracranial hemorrhage. Additionally, conditions like dehydration, obstructed cerebrospinal fluid flow, or certain medications can also contribute to elevated 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.
Pressure on the emetic center due to increased intracranial pressure can cause nausea and vomiting as a protective mechanism to reduce the pressure in the brain.
