Sumario:Sinking flap syndrome and hydrocephalus are well-known complications of decompressive craniectomy. The underlying pathogenesis and management of these complications are still unclear. We present a case of hydrocephalus and recurrent sinking flap syndrome following decompressive craniectomy. We highlight the pivotal role of calvaria in the management of these complications.
