Abstract

Persistent acute high intracranial pressure culminates in death or severe disability. When pharmacological measures fail to control it, decompressive craniectomy is offered. Superiority of decompressive craniectomy over best medical management for improved outcome is disputed. In thisarticle we have highlighted the indications, techniques, and current role of decompressive craniectomywith clinical illustrations.
