|
Patients with abnormal head shapes resulting From premature Fusion of one or more cranial sutures have been grouped under the term cranio synostosis. Plagiocephaly is a premature unilateral coronal Synostosis consisting of Flattening of the Frontal region and asymmmetrical orbits with resultant Facial asymmetry. Early surgical treatment has been advised
´ For the prevention of exophthalmos, visual loss, cosmetic deformities and brain damage. But
´ the treatment differs according to the age the malformation is first recognized. A linear craniectomy along the involved sutures has been used For many years. Recently, Several new or modified approaches to the treatment of coronal Synostosis have developed.
From September 1986 to February 1987, two patients with plagiocephaly were treated by extended craniectomy along the Fused Sutures with Frontal bone replacement and Tessier´s bilateral Frontal bone advancement at 3 and 11 months. Postoperative Follow up has continued, ranging From 5 to 10 months with good cranio Facial symmetry.
