“…Along with other authors [5,6], they differentiated this condition from ''the post-traumatic syndrome'' [7], which were related to subjective symptoms and not objective neurological deficits. Fodstad et al [8] believed that only symptoms reduced or relieved by cranioplasty should be included in the definition of ST.…”

“…The symptoms of SSFS include sensorimotor deficits, headache, vertigo, tinnitus, fatigue, loss of concentration, loss of memory, depression, dysphagia, apraxia, paresis of extremities and epileptic seizures. There often occur delayed motor deficits; hence the condition has also been designated as MTS [3,6].…”

“…This was superseded by the von Hacker method that utilized surrounding periosteum and outer table to cover the defect. 13,22,26,40 This was followed by the use of Iliac, rib, tibia, sternum and scapula for cranioplasty. Autologous bone is the most commonly used procedure to repair the defect.…”

“…10,12,13 Tantalum was used during World War II but due to price, limited supply, and complications from high thermal conduction, its use was discontinued shortly. 13,25,37,38 The complications associated with metal implants are infection, seizure, imaging artifacts on CT scans, dislodgement, heat conduction, headache, scalp erosion or perforation, cost and lack of malleability. Titanium remains the common metal that is used today with or without bone cement.…”

Cranioplasty is the surgical repair of cranial defect or deficiency of the skull with a aim for functional and cosmetic improvement. Inorganic and organic materials have both been used for cranioplasty with the ideal cranioplasty material is yet to be made or discovered with present focus of research on molecular biology. This article does a brief review of the history of materials used and discusses the results of the use of bone cement cranioplasty (BCC) in this centre. A total of 61 cases were included in the study with the majority being males (44 cases). Road traffic accident was the most common initial cause of injury (45 cases), followed by fall (10 cases) and physical assault in the rest. On admission and based on the GCS based head injury classification the majority were in the severe head injury type (GCS<8) in 44 cases followed by moderate head injury in the rest. The majority of the decompressive craniectomy was done on the left side (32 cases) followed by right (22 cases) and bilateral in 7 cases (including single fl apbifrontal in 5 cases). In our centre as for other centres in Nepal and developing countries, bone cement remains the best, safest, cheapest choice along with autologous graft for cranioplasty.Nepal Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 14, Number 1, 2017, Page: 7-13

“…Although they have been credited with the initial term and description they were by no means the first to notice these clinical symptoms. Indeed they made no such claim and their original article cited 137 articles that dealt with reconstruction of cranial defects many of which described similar clinical changes [22]. Thereafter a number of terms have been suggested that describe what a different manifestation of the same condition is in effect,.…”

In the classical descriptions patients who exhibit this type of signs and symptoms, do so after an initial period of improvement following the decompressive surgery. Thereafter as the scalp flap sinks there is a AbstractGiven the continued use of decompressive craniectomy in the management of neurological emergencies recognition of complications is important in order for patients to gain maximal benefit during rehabilitation. One complication that has received relatively little attention is the neurological dysfunction that can occur due to distortion of the brain under the scalp as cerebral oedema subsides.The neurological deterioration that can occur can take many forms and this is probably due to a multifactorial pathophysiology. Recognition of this condition is important if delays in the rehabilitation process are to be avoided. This review discusses the historical background, possible pathophysiological mechanisms, clinical incidence and implications for healthcare workers involved in neurorehabilitation.Neurological Impairment due to a Large Skull Defect: Implications for Neurorehabilitation Stephen HoneybulDepartment of Neurosurgery, Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital and Royal Perth Hospital, Western Australia In te rna tion a l J o u rn al of Ne u r o re h abi litat io n
