Description: Cranioplasty by D. Stula Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Clinical Aspects of Cranial Bone Defects . Origin of Cranial Defects . Acquired Defects . Neurological and Psychic Changes Before and After Cranioplasty . Scintigraphy Findings in Patients with Cranial Bone Defects . Publisher Description This monograph presents a comprehensive review of the clinical experience in surgical repair of cranial defects which the author has gained during a period of over ten years. Particular problems of patients undergoing cranioplasty, such as neurological impairments, EEG changes, variations of intracranial pressure, and sinking skin flap syndrome are described and discussed. The author presents convincing evidence of the importance of cranioplasty in improving the quality of life of patients with large and disfiguring cranial defects. Unfortunately, cranioplasty still ameliorates only to a minimal extent the general condition in patients suffering of major cerebral lesions. I am convinced that this volume will serve the purpose it was designed for : that it will be a most helpful introduction into the problems related to reconstructive surgery.
