A few days ago one of the expanders ruptured dumping about 250 cc (8oz) of fluid in my head cavity. It was not painful, but certainly uncomfortable. The fluid is being absorbed by my body, but we have to go in and remove the compromised expander tomorrow. This will set back our attempt to install the cranial implant by 6 or so weeks. However the good news is we are inserting a larger expander that will give us a little more tissue and a greater chance of success when inserting the implant.
