Is there a therapeutic role for cranioplasty?

M K Alibhai et al. Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg. 2013 May.

Abstract

Cranioplasty is often undertaken as a joint neurosurgical and maxillofacial procedure. The principal aims remain to improve cosmesis and to protect the underlying brain. We report two cases of cranioplasty with subsequent improvement in neurological function and discuss the possible therapeutic role of cranioplasty.
