CASE REPORT
A cranioplastia é um procedimento reconstrutivo para restaurar a anatomia craniana e reparo de defeitos ósseos ou de tecido subcutâneo. O objetivo deste estudo é apresentar o uso de polimetilmetacrilato (PMMA) como preenchedor subcutâneo para correção de deformidade craniana. Foi realizada a sua análise como um preenchedor de crânio e seu uso para correção de deformidade craniana foi efetivo e seguro.
Cranioplasty is a reconstructive procedure used to restore the skull anatomy and to repair defects in its bones or subcutaneous tissue. The aim of this study is to present the use of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) as a subcutaneous filler for the correction of skull deformities. The analysis of a PMMA filling of the skull (scalp) was performed and its use to correct cranial deformity was effective and safe.
