BACKGROUND: Cranioplasty is a commonly performed procedure for the repair of @entity129 . Various materials have been used for this procedure and have a good safety profile. @entity1 @entity1779 is an exceedingly rare condition. It involves the invasion of live or dead @entity1 tissues by larvae of the insect species dipterous. CASE DESCRIPTION: We describe the first case of @entity1779 associated with an artificial cranioplasty bone flap. There was delayed cerebral @entity550 of the species dipterous after cranioplasty with @entity4625 bone flap. The @entity1 initially presented with an acute subdural @entity1410 and contaminated, @entity174 that required craniectomy with interval cranioplasty at 3 months. Two years after the index procedure, the @entity1 presented for neurosurgical follow-up because of 2 months of nonhealing @entity1066 and a foul smell emanating from the cranioplasty site, as well as acute onset of unilateral arm and @entity425 . Surgical exploration found live larvae invading the dura and cerebral cortex, an area that was thoroughly debrided with good outcomes for the @entity1 . CONCLUSIONS: @entity1779 can be managed via surgical and antibiotic therapy to obtain a good clinical outcome.
