A piece of the skull may be removed in cases of brain injury to relieve pressure on the brain, a procedure known as a craniectomy. Swelling or bleeding in the brain can increase intracranial pressure, potentially leading to further damage. By creating space, this surgery helps prevent complications and allows for better management of the injury. Additionally, it can facilitate access for further treatment if necessary.

This is due to the brain's response to injury rather than direct contact with the skull.
