External-internal cranial expansion to treat patients with craniocerebral disproportion due to post-shunt craniosynostosis: a case series.
Abstract
Secondary craniosynostosis subsequent to shunting is one of the late complications of ventricular shunt placement in the early childhood. Several interventions have been used to treat high intracranial pressure associated with this condition. This study aimed to evaluate the patients' clinical symptoms and head circumference before and after a method of decompressive craniotomy, coined as external-internal cranial expansion (EICE).
