Cranioplasty is a surgical repair of a structural or morphological deformity of the skull, involving the resection, remolding and displacement of the bones of the head. As it pertains to abnormal head shape, cranioplasty is an operative procedure aimed to fill a gap in the cranial theca or to replace bone removed either as a result of trauma or infection, by means of a biocompatible artificial bony substitute. In the present paper authors report a case of custom-made cranioplasty for the reconstruction of a large bilateral skull defect, based on advanced computerized tomography data processing and rapid prototyping (stereolithography) techniques.
颅骨成形术是一种针对颅骨结构或形态畸形的外科修复手术，涉及头部骨骼的切除、重塑和移位。就异常头型而言，颅骨成形术是一种手术操作，旨在通过生物相容性人工骨替代物填补颅腔内的缺口，或替代因创伤或感染而移除的骨头。在本文中，作者报告了一例基于先进的计算机断层扫描数据处理和快速成型（立体光刻）技术定制颅骨成形术以重建双侧大颅骨缺损的病例。
