World of Biology on Instagram: "A brain surgery called a craniectomy is performed to remove a part of your skull in order to relieve pressure in an area when your brain swells from a traumatic brain injury. It is also performed to treat medical conditions that cause your brain to swell or bleed that can be caused by an aneurysm, brain tumor or other cancer. This 3d animation shows how the surgical procedure decreases intracranial pressure (ICP), intracranial hypertension (ICHT), or heavy bleedin

Biology • Science • Medicine on Instagram: "A craniectomy is a life-saving brain surgery performed to relieve dangerous pressure caused by brain swelling or bleeding. When the brain swells due to traumatic brain injury, stroke, aneurysm rupture, or brain tumors, pressure builds inside the rigid skull. This increase in intracranial pressure can compress delicate brain tissue and disrupt blood flow. In a craniectomy, surgeons remove a portion of the skull to give the swollen brain space to expand
