Abstract
The ideal reconstructive material for cranioplasty is autogenous bone, however if it is not available the use of alloplastic materials is recommended. We present a case of 26-year-male patient who sustained compound depressed fracture of the frontal bone and associated anterior cranial fossa fracture following a road traffic accident. He was managed at hospital where the fractured bone fragments were removed but recently presented with watery discharge from nose (CSF rhinorrhoea) and cosmetic deformity of forehead. We describe the utilization of autogenous local frontal bone split calvarial graft for the reconstruction of the defect.
