Abstract
Posterior fossa cranioplasty has been suggested for improvement: of neurolo gical symptoms following craniectomy. However, there is no particular recom mendation in the literature about techniques for prosthesis manufacture and implantation. We report our experience using rapid prototyping technology and stereolithography for pre-surgical implant design and production of cra nioplasties.
