Summary

This study tests whether wearing a custom-made external skull prosthetic can prevent Sunken Flap Syndrome, a condition where the brain sinks after a large piece of skull is removed to relieve pressure. About 72 adults who had this surgery will either wear the prosthetic or receive standard care. Researchers will compare rates of new neurological symptoms and recovery between the two groups.
