[Personal modification of the Codubix prosthesis in craniofacial plastic surgery]

Typical "Codubix" prosthesis usually applied to cover cranial defect was used in craniofacial reconstruction. In this case the defect resulted from total removal of cranial basis neoplasm infiltrating orbital roof and surrounding structures. The cranial defect included right frontal bone--superciliary arch, orbital roof and margin; zygomatic bone frontal part junction and the lesser and greater wings of the sphenoid. Cranial reconstruction in this spatially differentiated area is technically difficult. The authors discuss the way of standard prosthesis modification in order to apply it in craniofacial reconstruction. Follow-up radiological and aesthetic results are presented.
