Circumferential cranio-reduction.
A simple procedure for reduction of the skull capacity is presented. This operation is indicated in cases where a hygroma had produced a marked disproportion between brain volume and skull capacity. A 'double drain' should be applied for 10-14 days in order to obliterate the intermembranous space optimally.
