Abstract:
We give a case study demonstration, using aqueductal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) stroke volume quantification with phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging, of a large opening in the rigid cranium by a decompressive craniectomy and its subsequent closure by bone flap repositioning resulted in the arrest and subsequent restoration of aqueductal CSF flow.
