Abstract
Extended craniectomy has been employed in 148 +/- 4 month old infants with bilateral synostosis of lambdoid suture. Intraoperatively the ICP was less than 180 mm H2O in 6, 180-200 in 1, greater than 200 in 7. 18 +/- 10 months following surgery clinical signs as psychomotor retardation and so forth were present in 4 compared to 11 patients preoperatively. With 1 exception there was a distinct remodelling of neurocranium and an almost complete ossification of the operative site.
