Abstract:
Cranioplasty complications after decompressive craniectomy (DC) in infants are not fully recognized. We aimed to devise and assess the efficacy of a hinge and floating DC (HFDC) technique for treating infantile acute subdural hematoma. Five infants, aged 2-20 months, were included. Intracranial pressure was controlled below 20 mmHg, no additional surgery was required, and there was no incidence of surgical site infection or bone graft resorption.
