Decompressive craniectomy is a neurosurgical procedure in which part of the skull is removed to allow for the brain to expand and avoid severe damage, its performed in trauma ptients or strokes. Notice how the blood vessels are dialted and the brain is trying to push his way out. @medicalcortex #neurology #neurosurgery #brain #neurons #surgery #f4f #l4l #premed #usmle #hospital #doctor #mummy #pathology #autopsy #necropsy #medstudent #medicalstudent #medschool #stroke #trauma #pyramids #pathology #emergency #cpr #intracranialpressure #decompressivecraniectomy
