Intracranial epidural abscess: late complication of allograft cranioplasty.
A case of intracranial epidural abscess, 20 years after allograftic cranioplasty was presented. The abscess was caused by bacterial implantation after a minor stab wound of the scalp over the cranioplastic plate. It seemed quite rare that the intarcranial abscess occurred 20 years after an allograftic cranioplasty.
