OBJECTIVE

The modern concept of resection of hyperostotic craniofacial meningiomas involves the desire for one-stage surgery with excision of tumor and simultaneous extensive skull defect closure.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

The authors present skull defect closure with an individual implant after resection of cranioorbital meningioma in a 61-year-old man. The neoplasm was accompanied by exophthalmos and eyelid edema. The patient underwent simultaneous microsurgical resection and skull reconstruction with an individual implant. At discharge (7 days after surgery), exophthalmos regressed to 3 mm. After 3 months, ophthalmologist revealed complete regression of exophthalmos.

RESULTS

Domestic software and 3D printers were used for implant modeling and preparing the necessary physical models and molds. We intraoperatively used domestic polymer and titanium fixation systems for manufacturing and fixation of implant.

CONCLUSION

This clinical case confirms that resection of hyperostotic craniofacial meningioma with simultaneous bone defect closure using domestic analogues of software, technical equipment, materials and methods is possible at all stages of this procedure.
