- Abstract
Dear Editor: Cranial reconstruction, also known as cranioplasty (CP), remains one of the common neurosurgical procedures following decompressive craniectomy (DC). Up to now, the gold standard material remains the autologous bone of the patients, but since there is a significant percentage of failures related to rejection and other surgical complications, several heterologous materials have been created in the last decades to compensate [[1]]. Such procedure is common in the adult population, as well as in the pediatric one, even though it presents differences in the initial etiology leading to cranial decompression (more congenital malformations and bone-erosive tumors rather than traumatic and vascular events) [[2]].
