Three-dimensional analysis and planning is a powerful tool in plastic and reconstructive
surgery, enabling improved diagnosis, patient education and communication, and …

Purpose Three-dimensional (3D) analysis and planning are powerful tools in craniofacial
and reconstructive surgery. The elements include 1) analysis, 2) planning, 3) virtual surgery …

Craniosynostosis is one of the most common craniofacial conditions treated by neurologic
and plastic surgeons. In addition to disfigurement, children with craniosynostosis experience …

The standard for diagnosing metopic craniosynostosis (CS) utilizes computed tomography
(CT) imaging and physical exam, but there is no standardized method for determining …

Background: The authors evaluated the complications, revisions, and long-term aesthetic
outcomes of patients with isolated metopic synostosis. Methods: A retrospective chart review …

Background Patients with metopic craniosynostosis are traditionally treated with fronto-
orbital advancement to correct hypotelorism and trigonocephaly. Alternatively, endoscopic …

Background: Quantifying the severity of head shape deformity and establishing a threshold
for operative intervention remains challenging in patients with metopic craniosynostosis …

Metopic suture closure can manifest as a benign metopic ridge (BMR), a variant of normal, to
“true” metopic craniosynostosis (MCS), which is associated with severe trigonocephaly …

Background: Reports of neurodevelopmental delays in adolescents with metopic
craniosynostosis have ranged from 15 to 61 percent. Previously, event-related potentials …

Background: The metopic suture is unlike other cranial sutures in that it normally closes in
infancy. Consequently, the diagnosis of metopic synostosis depends primarily on a …
