Cerebral Perfusion and Blood-Brain Barrier Changes After Cranioplasty: A Diffusion-Prepared Arterial Spin Labeling Study. [PDF]
J NeuroimagingABSTRACT Background and Purpose Cranioplasty reconstruction after hemicraniectomy restores skull integrity and has been associated with neurological improvement, but the physiological mechanisms underlying recovery remain incompletely understood. This study investigated cerebral blood flow (CBF), arterial transit time (ATT), and blood–brain barrier ...

Cranial Defect Reconstruction With Custom 3D-Printed Hydroxyapatite Scaffolds Augmented With rhBMP-2 or Dipyridamole in a Nonhuman Primate Model. [PDF]
J Tissue Eng Regen MedObjective Reconstruction of critical‐sized bone defects, particularly in the cranio‐maxillofacial region, presents unique challenges due to the need for integration with adjacent well‐vascularized tissue and the absence of significant load‐bearing requirements.

Death, a Rare Complication of Cranioplasty in Emergency: A Case Report [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2021 Cranioplasty is a reconstructive procedure which is performed to restore the calvarial integrity with either a stored autologous bone flap or a custom synthetic prosthesis. It is performed to protect the brain and as a cosmetic procedure.

Intraoperative Extracorporeal Irradiation for the Treatment of the Meningioma-Infiltrated Calvarium. [PDF]
, 2015 Objectives Complete removal of infiltrated bone is required to achieve a Simpson Grade 1 meningioma resection. Reconstruction of the resulting bone defect is typically achieved with a nonnative implant that can result in poor cosmesis, foreign body ...

Outcome of cranioplasty after decompressive craniectomy: Algorithm based study
Nepal Journal of Neuroscience, 2018 Cranioplasty is the next major surgical procedure that the patient undergoes following the decompressive craniotomy for severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). This study was designed with the objective to evaluate the outcome of our institutional algorithm-

Failures in cranioplasty – A clinical audit & review
Journal of Oral Biology and Craniofacial Research, 2021 Introduction: Cranioplasty, like any other surgical procedure also comes with risk of complications and failure. Failure of cranioplasty may be early or delayed and further can be attributed to the surgical procedure itself or to the reconstruction ...

A Reappraisal of the Necessity of a Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt After Decompressive Craniectomy in Traumatic Brain Injury [PDF]
Journal of Trauma and Injury, 2020 Purpose Cranioplasty itself is believed to have therapeutic effects on hydrocephalus. The goal of this study was to evaluate the hypothesis that not every patient with hydrocephalus after decompressive craniectomy needs cerebrospinal fluid diversion, and
