From what you have described, there are clearly 2 problems. One issue is bone coverage. Other issue is raised pressure due to hydrocephalus. First thing to sort out is the pressure issue. There has to be CSF diversion procedure, like a VP shunt, followed by Cranioplasty. If the own bone is not available, it can be replaced by either bone cement(PMMA) or Titanium mesh.
