DC is frequently succeeded by cranioplasty (CP), a reconstructive procedure to protect the underlying brain and maintain cerebrospinal fluid flow dynamics. However, complications such as seizures, fluid collections, infections, and hydrocephalus can arise from CP. Our aim is to investigate these complications and their possible risk factors and to discuss whether early or late CP has any effect on the outcome.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A single-center retrospective cohort study was performed, including patients who underwent CP after DC between January 2014 and January 2022. Relevant information was collected such as demographics, type of brain injury, materials used in CP, timing between DC and CP, and postoperative complications. Ultimately, 63 patients were included in our study. We also compared the complication rate between patients who underwent late CP after DC (&gt;90 days) against patients who underwent early CP (&lt;90 days).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Most patients were male (78%). The sample median age was 29 years, with pediatric patients, accounting for 36% of the samples. Overall complication rate was 57% and they were seizure\/epilepsy in 50% of the patients, fluid collection (28%), infections (25%), posttraumatic hydrocephalus (17%), and bone defect\/resorption (3%). Twenty-two percent of patients with complications required reoperation and underwent a second CP. The median (interquartile range) duration between the craniotomy and the CP was 56 (27\u2013102) days, with an early (\u22643 months) percentage of 68%. We found no significant difference between early (\u22643 months) and late (&gt;3 months) CP regarding complication rates.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Despite CP being a simple procedure, it has a considerable rate of complications. Therefore, it is important that surgeons possess adequate knowledge about such complications to navigate these challenges more effectively.<\/jats:p>\n
