Overview

This is a single-center, observational retrospective study. This study aims to identify predictive factors of complications for patients submitted to cranioplasty after decompressive craniectomy for all types of etiologies. All patients submitted to cranioplasty since 2008 will be analyzed.

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. Main factors determined as a possible influence on complications after cranioplasty will be recorded focusing on patients characteristics, craniectomy characteristics, surgical timing, and cranioplasty materials. Patients' records will be review by two investigators and data will be verified by a third investigator. records will be anonymously recorded.
