Infant Skull Pressure Relief Procedure

The provider performs an initial puncture of the dura, through the soft spot of the skull, known as the fontanelle, or the fibrous connective joint of the cranial bones in the skull, known as the coronal suture. The procedure is typically performed on infants to remove built up blood or cerebrospinal fluid and to relieve pressure. Choose a location to see hospital-reported price summaries.
