Abstract: Reduction Cranioplasty Using Virtual Surgical Planning for Hydrocephalic Macrocephaly

چکیده
CONCLUSION: We could achieve complete bone healing and premorbid occlusion using microplates. The microplates are strong enough to keep comminuted mandibular fractures reduced. Their small size and malleability allow multiple fixation of comminuted bony segments in accurate-anatomical position, less periosteal stripping and self-occlusal adjustment. Therefore, microplate fixation may be one of good options for reconstruction of comminuted mandibular fractures.

Abstract: Outcomes of Cranioplasty in the Adult Population: Analysis of a Statewide Population Database
INTRODUCTION: Congenital hydrocephalus, the most common cause of macrocephaly, is usually treated with ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunting. Despite shunting, changes to the overlying cranial bones cause calvarial expansion and distortion. Reduction cranioplasty can be performed to approach proper cranial size, shape, and cephalocranial proportion. However, consistent results are difficult to ach...
متن کاملReduction Cranioplasty for Macrocephaly
Multi-stage reduction cranioplasty was performed on two children with severe macrocephaly sec ondary to hydrocephalus. One patient underwent a four-stage operation, and the other underwent a two-stage operation. The postoperative course of both patients was uneventful. Reduction cranioplasty improved quality of life for both patients, and good cosmetic results were achieved. Reduction craniopla...
متن کاملEngineer support for cranioplasty in children
Craniosynostosis and skull injuries are most often causes demanding surgical cranioplasty. Craniosynostosis is a condition in which the cranial sutures close too early. Premature closure of the sutures may also cause the pressure inside of the head to increase and the skull or facial bones to change from a normal, symmetrical appearance. Cranioplasty is a surgical repair of a skull, almost as a...
متن کاملHeterogeneous expression of hydrocephalic phenotype in the hyh mice carrying a point mutation in alpha-SNAP.
The hyh mouse carrying a point mutation in the gene encoding for soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor (NSF) attachment protein alpha (alpha-SNAP) develops inherited hydrocephalus. The investigation was designed to study: (i) the clinical evolution of hyh mice; (ii) factors other than the alpha-SNAP mutation that may influence the expression of hydrocephalus; (iii) the neuropathological fea...
متن کاملHistological assessment of porous custom-made hydroxyapatite implants 6 months and 2.5 years after cranioplasty
BACKGROUND In cranial reconstruction, the features of artificial bone differ. Custom-made porous hydroxyapatite (HAp) implants for cranioplasty have been used all over the world because of their good cosmetic, biocompatibility, and osteoconductive properties. Surgical techniques were analyzed, and histological assessment of new bone formation in the hydroxyapatite was performed. METHODS Over ...
