Abstract: Outcomes of Cranioplasty in the Adult Population: Analysis of a Statewide Population Database

چکیده
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 achieve. Virtual surgical planning (VSP) with the creation of intraoperative templates allows for systematic control of both volume and morphology.
