Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Pediatric Neurosurgery

Background:

  • Macrocephaly, often associated with hydrocephalus, can significantly impair functional abilities and social integration.
  • Reduction cranioplasty is a surgical intervention to address skull overgrowth and its associated complications.

Observation:

  • Two cases of older hydrocephalic patients with significant macrocephaly were evaluated.
  • The patients presented with challenges in head control, seating, locomotion, and social acceptance.

Findings:

  • The study describes two distinct surgical techniques employed for reduction cranioplasty.
  • Emphasis is placed on the fundamental stages and critical steps within each procedure.

Implications:

  • The findings offer insights into surgical management strategies for complex macrocephaly cases.
