Abstract
Implantation of a cranioplasty after osteoclastic craniotomy or craniectomy is one of the most common neurosurgical procedures, and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) is one of the most frequently applied materials for cranioplasty. This report describes the unique case of a patient with recurrent transitional meningioma WHO I that infiltrated the PMMA cranioplasty 7 years after primary surgery. We propose to restrict the use of porous PMMA as cranioplasty after the removal of convexity meningioma.
