Abstract
- Decompressive craniectomy (DC) is rarely required in infants, but when performed several aspects should be considered: These youngest patients are vulnerable to blood loss and cranial reconstruction can be challenging due to skull growth and bone flap resorption. On the other hand, infants have thin and flexible bone and osteogenic potential. The authors propose a technique which makes use of these unique aspects by achieving decompression with the craniofacial method of barrel stave osteotomy, aiming to achieve adequate DC, limit perioperative risks and facilitate subsequent cranial reconstruction.
