Abstract

Since the frontal area is the most cosmetically obvious, a slight distortion of symmetry or deperssion renders gross changes in appearance and is a significant handicap for the pat-ients. Frontal depressions or bons defects afther trauma or operation are not only a cos-metically significance, but also aprotective role for brain. We have experienced 5cases of the reconstructions for frontal depressions with the ope-rations using autogenous bone grafts, dermofat grafts, methyl methacryate contouring or parascapular free flap.The results were satisfactory escept one, absorption of grafted bon-e. We also preferrde methyl methacrylate in the cases of no cranial bone defect or large cranial bone defect and autogenous bone grafts in small cranial bone defects.
