Abstract
Sinking skin flap syndrome (SSFS) is defined as serious disabling neurologic deficit and impairment of neurological status, with concave deformity and relaxation of the craniectomy skin flap which tends to develop several weeks to months after large craniectomy. The pathophysiology includes cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) hypovolemia and development of an atmospheric pressure gradient, that may be aggravated by CSF diversion, dehydration, and patients posture. The goal of treatment in patient with the syndrome of the sinking skin flap is restoration of the pressure exerted by depression of craniectomy site. Abbreviations SSFS – Sunken skin flap syndrome NCCT – Non contrast computed tomography GCS – Glasgow coma scale
