Abstract |
Despite the considerable advances in plastic surgery in recent years, complicated large cranial defects remain challenging clinical entities with no clear management algorithms, especially in the pediatric age group.We present a 9-year old boy who underwent a hemispherectomy for Rasmussen encephalitis. Functional and cosmetic outcomes are considered during the procedure.
