Skull Subsidence due to Periosteum Defect following Craniotomy in a Child.

abstract：:Kernohan-Woltman notch phenomenon (KWNP) is an ipsilateral motor weakness due to compression of the contralateral cerebral peduncle. Most of the KWNP cases reported have been due to subdural hematomas, intracranial space-occupying lesions, and spontaneous bleeding of vascular malformations. In this study, we present t...
