Table of Contents

Two methods are adopted in the exposure of meninges and brain—craniectomy and craniotomy.

Craniectomy implies the formation of a scalp-flap, exposure of the bone, trephining of the skull, and enlargement of the gap to the required size and shape.

Craniotomy implies the formation of a flap of scalp and bone in one, and the exposure of an area of dura and brain directly proportionate to the size of the bone-flap.
