Surgical Outcome of Exvivo Preserved Autologous Cranioplasty - A Novel Approach
Autologous cranioplasty is an increasingly common procedure performed in neurosurgical centers following a decompressive craniectomy. Available evidence on the safety of autologous bone flap preservation and cranioplasty is limited due to a large ...

Cranioplasty Results after the Use of a Polyester Urethane Dural Substitute (Neuro-Patch®) as an Adhesion Prevention Material in Traumatic Decompressive Craniectomy [PDF]
Purpose This study was conducted to investigate the usefulness of a polyester urethane dural substitute (Neuro-Patch®, B. Braun, Boulogne, France) as an anti-adhesion agent in subsequent cranioplasty by analyzing the use of Neuro-Patch® during ...

Outcomes of 87 small‐breed dogs surgically treated for Chiari‐like malformation and syringomyelia
Abstract Objective To report the outcomes of titanium mesh (TM) cranioplasty without polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), incorporating a deliberate gap between the foramen magnum decompression (FMD) surface and the TM, in small‐breed dogs with Chiari‐like malformation and syringomyelia (CM/SM). Study design Retrospective clinical study.

Use of Chitosan-Siloxane Porous Hybrid Scaffold as Novel Burr Hole Covers [PDF]
Chitosan-siloxane porous hybrids have high potential as tissue scaffolds. This manuscript focuses on the regeneration of skull bone after a burr hole. This was done using hybrids incorporated with calcium or coated with hydroxyapatite after soaking in a ...

Additively manufactured versus conventionally pressed cranioplasty implants: An accuracy comparison [PDF]
This article compared the accuracy of producing patient-specific cranioplasty implants using four different approaches. Benchmark geometry was designed to represent a cranium and a defect added simulating a craniectomy.

An integrated system and framework for development of medical applications and products based on medical imaging data [PDF]
Cranial defects which are caused by bone tumors or traffic accidents are treated by cranioplasty techniques. Cranioplasty implants are required to protect the underlying brain, correct major aesthetic deformities, or both.

ABSTRACT SMART syndrome is a rare, delayed complication of cranial irradiation that can mimic stroke, tumor recurrence, or autoimmune encephalitis. Early recognition based on clinical‐radiologic features is critical to avoid misdiagnosis and unnecessary interventions since conservative management often leads to complete recovery.

Intraoperative template-molded bone flap reconstruction for patient-specific cranioplasty [PDF]
Cranioplasty is a common neurosurgical procedure. Free-hand molding of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) cement into complex three-dimensional shapes is often time-consuming and may result in disappointing cosmetic outcomes.
