Asymmetric optic nerve sheath diameter as an outcome factor following cranioplasty in patients harboring the 'syndrome of the trephined'.

Unlabelled: Decompressive craniectomy (DC) is gaining an increasing role in the neurosurgical treatment of intractable intracranial hypertension, but not without complications. A rare complication is the "syndrome of the trephined" (ST). It occurs when the forces of gravity overwhelm intracranial pressures, leading the brain to become sunken.
