Abstract
Cranioplasty, defined as the reconstruction of cranial defects, not only offers protective effects with an aesthetically pleasing outcome, but also reverses the altered physiology post craniotomy and craniectomy. The journey of cranioplasty from its roots to the neoteric armamentarium depicts how enormously the innovation of surgical techniques have changed the face of plastic surgery.
