[Intradural reconstructive surgery of anterior fossa dural lesions using pedunculated periosteal flaps].
The cranio-cerebral injury could result in cerebro-spinal fluid fistula with serious consequences in form of meningitis. In a number of cases a surgical procedure is needed, however in spite of established standards the controversies are still present concerning approach and reconstruction technique. The author presents his own experience in duroplastic operations with intradural use of pedunculated periostal allograft flaps.
