Technique for methyl methacrylate cranioplasty to optimize cosmetic outcome.

Background: Cranioplasty aims to reconstruct skull defects from fractures, decompressive craniectomies, tumors, and congenital anomalies in a cosmetically acceptable manner. We present a technique in methyl methacrylate cranioplasty that gives excellent cosmetic results by maintaining patient's calvarial curvature.

Method: Cranioplasty material is placed into a plastic bag and packed inside the defect.
