Abstract

Even though Decompressive Hemicraniectomy has been utilized already for a few decades, currently no consensus about its
indications or the clinical conditions in which it should be done has been reached. An attempt has been made here to bring the knowledge on these issues up to date together with a description of its surgical technique.
