We reported previously the incidence of headache after the retrosigmoid removal of an acoustic neuroma as 23% at 3 months, declining to 9% at 2 years after surgery. In an attempt to reduce the incidence and the severity of these headaches, we made one change in our surgical procedure, which was to perform a cranioplasty with methyl methacrylate. Twenty-four patients underwent the cranioplasty and were followed for at least 3 months postoperatively. These patients were matched to 24 patients who did not undergo a cranioplasty. We found a 4% incidence of headache in the cranioplasty group and a 17% incidence in the matched group. No complications were related to this change in our procedure.
