Pediatric Cranioplasty

Historically, the approach to pediatric cranioplasty has been largely extrapolated from the treatment of adults. More recently, however, the intricacies of pediatric cranial reconstruction have become better understood, and the surgical management has been refined contemporaneously. Each patient's cranial defect bears a unique set of challenges and, as such, the choice of cranioplasty technique must be tailored accordingly.
