Abstract
Currently, the accepted indications for cranioplasty are for cosmetic considerations and protection of intracranial structures. The complications of cranioplasty include delayed infection, subgaleal fluid accumulation, fracture of resin plate, and resorption of preserved autografts. The most serious complication is delayed infection. We report on four cases with delayed infection following craioplasty with discussion of possible mechanisms.
