Skull repair in children.
Skull defects in children may be congenital or acquired after trauma, infection or tumor. For defects that do not close spontaneously a variety of repair (cranioplasty) materials are available including bone, metals and acrylic. Where possible calvarial autogenous bone is preferred, particularly in younger infants, but in older children especially with large defects other methods may be useful.
