title: [Early repair of burned cranium].
abstract: Early repair was done on 10 patients, of whom there was necrosis of either the outer or both outer and inner tables of the skull as a result of deep burn injuries. Multiple drill holes were made through the necrotic cranial bones until bleeding occurred on 7 PBD. The wounds were immediately covered with skin flaps. A continuous drip of lidocaine, chloramphenicol and normal saline was instituted underneath the flaps. The results after one to five years follow-up were satisfactory.
