Abstract：
BACKGROUND:This is an original report describing the long-term follow-up outcome of a cranioplasty. A large calvarial bone defect of a child was reconstructed with a bioactive and biostable non-metallic implant. CASE DESCRIPTION:This is a case study of a young child with an infantile fibrosarcoma of occipital bone. The malignancy in an occipital bone was removed from a child of 2.5 years of age, and the defect site was reconstructed with an on-lay glass fibre-reinforced composite - bioactive glass implant. After 5 years and 7 months, the follow-up examination showed no signs of a recidive. During the follow-up period, the contour of the reconstructed area followed skull anatomical development. Computed tomography demonstrated considerably large areas (approximately 70 % of the total area) of bone on-growth to the peridural surface of the implant. CONCLUSIONS:In the future, a synthetic cranioplasty material that is capable to integrate with cranial bone may be considered superior to cryopreserved bone grafts in younger age groups.
