A new method for reconstruction of cranial bony defects: Technical note with illustrative case

Abstract

Major defects of the skull may become necessary to repair regardless of its aetiology. Aesthetic considerations dominate at most of the times, so we define a new, two staged technique for cranioplasty using methyl methacrylate shaped on a pre-modelled plaster cast. The technique is simple, cost-effective and gives excellent cosmetic result.
