It can restore normal anatomy to a greater extent and make a better appearance. <strong>Case Presentation: </strong>We reported two cases of patients admitted to our hospital who have experienced high scalp tension after skull repair. At first, these two patients underwent decompression of the bone flap, and the physical examination results showed a defect of skull. No neurological symptoms and signs were found. The 3D computed tomography (CT) reconstruction of skull was performed, and then the skull repair with 3D titanium mesh was conducted. But because of high scalp tension, they underwent a second operation, during which we re-trimmed and reduce the arc of the titanium mesh. The scalp incision of both patients healed well and no titanium mesh was exposed. Both patients have a good prognosis. <strong>Lessons:</strong> We highlight that the high tension of scalp due to overstretching after 3D titanium mesh repair for skull defect should be paid much attention to. Trimming and reducing the arc of titanium mesh is an effective treatment for this situation.展开更多
