OBJECTIVE: We sought to examine the position of a pericranial flap reconstruction of anterior skull base defects with respect to the original floor of the anterior cranial fossa. STUDY DESIGN: A retrospective chart and radiology review of 17 patients (1993–2001) with pericranial flap reconstruction for anterior skull base defects and 17 controls was performed. RESULTS: At 6 or more months after surgery, the new positions of the pericranial flaps ranged from 5 mm above to 11.3 mm below the positions of the original cribriform plates. There were no complications related to the pericranial flaps such as hemorrhage, flap loss, or brain herniation except for 2 (11.8%) cerebrospinal fluid leaks, 1 of which required operative correction. CONCLUSION: Pericranial flap reconstruction is a reliable method with low morbidity for closure of the most common skull base defect from the craniofacial resection that entails removal—unilateral or bilateral—of the fovea ethmoidalis, cribriform plate, and/or superior septum. This flap creates a watertight seal between the extradural space and the nasal cavity, prevents clinically significant brain herniation, and is associated with a low rate of cerebrospinal fluid leakage even without postoperative lumbar subarachnoid drainage of the cerebrospinal fluid.
