AbstractDecompressive craniectomy (DC) is considered a 'second tier' therapy to control posttraumatic intracranial hypertension refractory to maximal medical treatment. The authors present a case of refractory intracranial hypertension due to diffuse brain swelling and a large (>25 ml) non-surgically-treatable haematoma of the splenium of the corpus callosum successfully treated with bi-occipital DC and augmentative duraplasty.
