Review of Cranioplasty after Decompressive Craniectomy
Cranioplasty is an in evitable operation conducted after decompressive craniectomy (DC). The primary goals of cranioplasty after DC are to protect the brain, achieve a natural appearance and prevent sinking skin flap syndrome (or syndrome of the trephined). Furthermore, restoring patients' functional outcome and supplementing external defects helps patients improve their self-esteem. Although e...
متن کاملBone Flap Resorption Following Cranioplasty after Decompressive Craniectomy: Preliminary Report
OBJECTIVE Resorption of autologous bone flap grafts is a known long-term complication of cranioplasty following decompressive craniectomy (DC). We analyzed our data to identify risk factors for bone flap resorption (BFR) following cranioplasty. METHODS A total of 162 patients who underwent cranioplasty following DC due to life-threatening elevated intracranial pressure between October 2003 an...
متن کاملTiming of cranioplasty after decompressive craniectomy for trauma
BACKGROUND The optimal timing of cranioplasty after decompressive craniectomy for trauma is unknown. The aim of this study was to determine if early cranioplasty after decompressive craniectomy for trauma reduces complications. METHODS Consecutive cases of patients who underwent autologous cranioplasty after decompressive craniectomy for trauma at a single Level I Trauma Center were studied i...

متن کاملBone Resorption of Autologous Cranioplasty Following Decompressive Craniectomy in Children
Objective: In pediatric patients, autologous-bone assisted cranioplasty is preferred because the child’s original skull material will become reintegrated. Unfortunately, the replaced bone flap sometimes undergoes bone resorption, which results in structural breakdown necessitating reoperation. We report two children who underwent failure of autologous cranioplsty following decompressive craniec...
