Abstract
|
|
|
The different characteristics of craniosynostosis depends on the cranial strure involved. In the case of oxycephaly, early closure of the coronal and sagittal sutures are involved and they are limited on cranial vault.
It is also known that without early management, many neurologic problems may result. Until now, method like linear cranicetomy and total cranicetomy have been frequently used in the treatment of craniosynostosis, but usually with disapponting result due to recurrence and poor esthetic quality.
We have used the method developed by Marchac in 1973 involving rotation of supraorbital bar, by bony Z-plasty on the frontotemporal area and redistribution of free bone grafts in the cranium in early management of craniosynostosis with satisfactory result.
