title: [Forum on tissue expansion. Value of cutaneous expansion for the covering of synthetic materials used in cranioplasty. Apropos of a case].
abstract: The authors present a case of cover of synthetic material by expanded skin. In a context of post-sepsis revision, this cover proved to be of excellent quality, superior to normal scalp. The specific characteristics of tissue expansion may possible explain, in this context, the superiority of the expanded skin. The authors intend to adopt a similar therapeutic approach is such a situation should arise in the future.
