All patients submitted to cranioplasty since 2008 will be analyzed.

Detailed Description

Patients submitted to cranioplasty since 2008 to 2019 will be retrospectively analyzed.

Will be considered for analysis all cases treated after decompressive craniectomy. Will be excluded patients with incomplete clinical or imaging records.
