ABSTRACT

Cranioplasty is a surgical procedure to repair the cranial defect or deformation. The goal of cranioplasty is to attain the accurate closure of the defect by using various biocompatible materials there by improving their neurologic status and restoring the esthetics of the patient in a best possible way. One of the earliest materials used for restoring the cranial defects were autologous bone grafts. With the advancement and to overcome the disadvantages of autologous bone grafts many synthetic materials have been introduced. This article illustrates a case report of neuroprosthetic rehabilitation of a patient who sustained skull fracture after a road traffic accident followed by decompressive craniectomy and cranioplasty using titanium cranial prosthesis improving neurologic status and esthetics of the patient.

Keywords: Cranioplasty, Cranial prosthesis, Neuroprosthetic rehabilitation
