Transcranial masses in the infant population can leave considerable skull base defects following resection. Traditional reconstructive techniques can result in significant morbidity or poor cosmetic results. We present a case of a large skull base defect in a six week-old infant, after removal of a giant cranio-cervicofacial teratoma, which was reconstructed using a versatile submental island flap. Additionally, preoperative planning and intraoperative navigation was advanced with the use of a 3D constructed model of the patient's mass.
