| ABSTRACT |
|
We report a case of pushed-out arylic bone flap in a patient with post-traumatic hydrocephalus. He had received a decompressive craniectomy with dura graft due to an epidural hematoma and brain swelling. Later, a cranioplasty had been done. However, the acrylic bone flap was pushed out. In consideration of the pathophysiologic mechanism, cerebrospinal fluid pulse pressure plays an important role.
