Transcranial ultrasound could represent a simplification of the follow-up and management of ventricular size of patients undergoing PEEK cranioplasty. Even if this is a small series, our preliminary results could widen the potential benefits of PEEK, not only as effective material for cranial reconstruction but also, in selected clinical conditions, as a reliable window to explore intracranial content and to monitor ventricular sizes and shunt functioning.
