Abstract

A 68-year-old white-skinned male fell head first into a fireplace while having a seizure. Extensive burns of the skull were sustained requiring removal of the necrotic bone. The patient had an underlying meningioma. Healing of the skull was obtained using a latissimus dorsi flap. After the scalp was completely healed, the meningioma was successfully resected with significant improvement in the patient's mental function.
