EITC is feasible and fast to perform with good outcomes and cost-effectiveness compared to other reconstructive methods. We observed similar recurrence rates and lower infection rates requiring explant compared to the largest series of cranioplasty in meningioma. Cosmetic outcome is universally under-reported and should be reported in future studies.
