Abstract:
Cranioplasty can be performed using a number of materials ranging from autologous tissue to metallic or acrylic alloplastic implants. In this report, we present a unique case of revision cranioplasty in a patient with titanium allergy using a prefabricated, custom-made polymethylmethacrylate implant and a modified fixation technique without plates or screws.
