No standard acalvaria treatment is being established; conservative and supportive therapy is mostly taken considering their low survival rate. With the advancement of medical technology nowadays, surgical approaches, including scalp defect closure, bone graft, and 3D-printed defect filling, are being performed and have succeeded in a few cases. Long-term follow-up is required to monitor their neuro-psychological development and complication incidences that need further intervention.
