I agree with Nils reg. the typo, but I believe to flik would be flap. See ref.

I introduced a typo describing the typo; "to flik" should just be "flik" of course... :)
Example sentence:

preventing any further secondary brain damage due to opening of dural flaps where superficial clots and con-tused brain could be removed

The dural flaps can be sutured up to the surrounding tissue and the third to eleventh cranial nerves are easily seen through this opening

Thanks Barry :)
agree Cynthia Coan : "Flik" = "flap." Word should actually be "duraflik" (plu. = "duraflikar").
