How Does Diploic Space Thickness Change With Age?

Diploic thickness remains stable across the lifespan with slight sex-based differences. However, examination reveals that the density of the diploe increases over time, suggesting age-related changes in cancellous architecture. These findings highlight the importance of individual anatomical variations when harvesting autogenous calvarial grafts to optimize cranial reconstruction outcomes.

Abstract

Diploic thickness remains stable across the lifespan with slight sex-based differences. However, examination reveals that the density of the diploe increases over time, suggesting age-related changes in cancellous architecture. These findings highlight the importance of individual anatomical variations when harvesting autogenous calvarial grafts to optimize cranial reconstruction outcomes.
