ABSTRACT
Cranioplasty was proposed by Falloppio and later by Pare in 1634. During the last century, in particular, there has been a marked increase in the use of alloplastic materials for cranioplasty comprising a wide variety of materials tantalium, titanium, acrylic, polyethylene, silicone and ceramics. The authors assess the efficacy of cranioplasty with carbon composite” intost-2” for cranial defect post brain injury was realized in the Department of neurosurgery of Saint-Paul hospital. Methods:
from 10/1997 to 11/2004 , 124 patients skull defect after operation of traumatic brain injury underwent cranioplasty with carbon composite “intost-2”. there were 103 males (82.33%) and 23 females (17.66%) whose average age was 27 years (rang 5 to 55 years). 74 patients (51.61%) had an operation for acute subdural hematoma with or with out brain contusion and penetrating brain injury. One hundred one patient (81.45%) had large defect (>5cm) while 27 patients (21.77%) had very large defect (>8cm).Results:
the operation successful rate was 98.39% (122/124). there were two infections because of cutaneous necrosis need secondary cranioplasty.Conclusion:
The cranioplasty with carbon composite “intost-2” had good result in spite of large defect.
