Total cranial vault reconstruction for parietal encephalocele.
A 3-year-old boy underwent skull reconstruction in order to reduce a parietal encephalocele. The reduction of the encephalocele was accomplished fully and safely while simultaneously correcting a concomitant turriscaphocephaly skull-shape irregularity. A combination of the modified prone position and cranial reconstruction using barrel stave expansion of the basal vault was employed.
