3D Innovations of Cranioplasty Plate Construction: a Case Report
نویسنده
چکیده
Abstract Titanium cranioplasty is one of the well-established and widely used techniques in restoring skull defects for optimal protection to skull internal structures and reestablishing skull conformity. Nowadays, most centres utilise computer-assisted reconstruction for manufacture of titanium plates. In this paper we presented a method for making titanium cranioplasty plates using the 3D innovation through making a 3D model.

Fatal cerebral swelling immediately after cranioplasty: A case report
BACKGROUND Cranioplasty is a standard neurosurgical procedure which is performed after decompressive craniotomy. Fatal complications associated with this procedure are not well documented. Here, we report a case of fatal cerebral swelling after cranioplasty and discuss the possible mechanism of this complication. CASE DESCRIPTION A 64-year-old man was admitted with the diagnosis of cerebral h...

381 including infection and allergic reaction, and its use should definitely be avoided in the case of children, whose bones have not yet stopped growing. In the case of the sixteen-year-old patient in this study, while alloplastic cranioplasty was possible, as the growth of the skull bone was nearly complete, the patient and his guardian decided upon autologous cranioplasty. In cases of large ...

INTRODUCTION Reconstruction of the cranial vault is performed for various reasons and precise repair of the defect is important. A modified method of cranioplasty is presented using three-dimensional (3D) models and polyethylmethacrylate mixed with hydroxyapatite, cast in a silicone rubber mould. PATIENT AND METHOD A large custom made cranial implant was produced using data acquired from 3D c...
متن کاملCT perfusion imaging in the syndrome of the sinking skin flap before and after cranioplasty.
The syndrome of the sinking skin flap (SSSF) has been described as one of the causes of neurological deficits after decompressive craniectomy We report a case of a 57-year-old woman with SSSF. Two years earlier, this patient, with no neurological deficits, underwent removal of the bone flap during treatment of an epidural abscess due to wound infection after a clipping operation for a ruptured ...
متن کاملCranial autologous bone flap resorption after a cranioplasty: A case report
Background Craniectomies and cranioplasty are common neurosurgical procedures performed after brain trauma, ischemia, tumor resection, or infection. Post-cranioplasty autologous bone flap resorption may occur in patients after delayed cranial reconstruction. The occurrence is usually low when bone flaps are stored in subcutaneous abdominal tissue. We report a unique case of post-cranioplasty cr...
