Neurosurgery. 1985 Sep;17(3):506-9. doi: 10.1227/00006123-198509000-00020.

Abstract

A reduction cranioplasty in one stage was performed on a child with massive enlargement of the head secondary to advanced hydrocephalus. The authors discuss the techniques and advantages of a modified head position and a cross bar craniotomy for reduction cranioplasty.
