Craniotomy and Craniectomy
www.nucleushealth.com/ - This 3D medical animation depicts two operations, called craniotomy and craniectomy, in which the skull is opened to access the brain. The normal anatomy of the skull and tissues surrounding the brain are shown, including arteries and veins. The animation lists the common reasons for these procedures, and briefly introduces intracranial pressure.
Video ID: ANH13109
Transcript:
Your doctor may recommend a craniotomy or a craniectomy procedure to treat a number of different brain diseases, injuries, or conditions.
Your skull is made of bone and serves as a hard, protective covering for your brain. Just inside your skull, three layers of tissue, called meninges, surround your brain. The thick, outermost layer is the dura mater. The middle tissue layer is the arachnoid mater and the innermost layer is the pia mater. Between the arachnoid mater and the pia mater is the subarachnoid space, which contains blood vessels and a clear fluid called cerebrospinal fluid. Blood vessels, called bridging veins, connect the surface of your brain with the dura mater. Other blood vessels, called cerebral arteries, bring blood to your brain.
Inside your skull, normal brain function requires a delicate balance of pressure between the blood in your blood vessels, the cerebrospinal fluid that surrounds your brain, and your brain tissue. This is called normal intracranial pressure. Increased intracranial pressure may result from: brain tumors, head injuries, problems with your blood vessels, or infections in your brain or spinal cord. These conditions put pressure on your brain and may cause it to swell or change shape inside your skull, which can lead to serious brain injury.
Your doctor may recommend a craniotomy to remove: abnormal brain tissue, such as a brain tumor, a sample of tissue by biopsy, a blood clot, called a hematoma, excess cerebrospinal fluid, or pus from an infection, called an abscess.
A craniotomy may also be done to: relieve brain swelling,
stop bleeding, called a hemorrhage, repair abnormal blood vessels, repair skull fractures, or repair damaged meninges.
Finally, a craniotomy may also be done to: treat brain conditions, such as epilepsy, deliver medication to your brain, or implant a medical device, such as a deep brain stimulator.
The most common reason for a craniotomy is to remove a brain tumor.

No, you can’t feel your brain
got that procedure done. Was given a second chance in life. Something heavy felt on my head, months ago, but as many men, desired to ignore it. It came back months later as a subdural hematoma. Surgery was fine had staples and draining holes for after fluid. space out with taking care of wound which got infected and wont close. Had to go to the hospital again to fix the problem.(sucks like hell going back to hospital) Went home with a midline catherer for antibiotics for two weeks. had initial symtoms of arm and half of tonge numbness. But was corrected with antiseizure meds. I feel lucky to be alive. My message (if you get hit in the head, go asap and get it checked do not wait) PS I went to the ER because i was having this headaches for a couple of moths and had never had recurring headaches like that before

This is so cool. Not the medical problems, just the procedure to get inside your brain to do surgery. Also seeing what a brain looks like and all of the parts that makes a brain function is pretty fascinating to me as well. :)

Thank you for highlighting Craniectomy (I can’t stand when people try to tell me “oh you mean craniotomy”). However, not everyone who gets a Craniectomy has their bone reattached at a later date. They threw my mom’s piece of skull away because they were convinced she would die. Now six years later, she still has a giant soft crater at the base of her skull. They said, “oh don’t worry, there’s enough tissue to protect the brain.” Oh yea? Why do we have skulls at all then? 😒
