Abstract:
We present cranioplasty for a patient who underwent encephalocele surgery during infancy. Preoperative 3-dimensional computed tomography venography showed the skull defect and abnormal running of the superior sagittal sinus in simultaneous images. Using computed tomography venography images as a guide, we could safely harvest full-thickness calvarial bone from the contralateral side of the superior sagittal sinus.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
