Background There have been conflicting reports on how sagittal synostosis affects cranial
vault volume (CVV) and which surgical approach best normalizes skull volume. In this study …

OBJECTIVE Sagittal craniosynostosis (SC) is the most commonly encountered form of
craniosynostosis. Despite its relative frequency, there remains significant heterogeneity in …

Object Data from animal studies have shown that in experimentally induced
craniosynostosis, removal of the involved calvaria results in the formation of new calvaria …

OBJECTIVE In this systematic review and meta-analysis the authors aimed to directly
compare open surgical and endoscope-assisted techniques for the treatment of sagittal …

The diagnosis and management of craniosynostosis continue to evolve at an extraordinary
pace as we approach the new millennium. Although the etiology remains unclear, greater …

Spring-assisted surgery (SAS) can effectively treat scaphocephaly by reshaping crania with
the appropriate spring force. However, it is difficult to accurately estimate spring force without …

In patients with multiple suture craniosynostosis, surgical techniques that utilize spring-
assisted surgery can provide decreased morbidity with better bone formation made …

Craniosynostosis is the premature fusion of suture (s) of the skull. It typically occurs in utero
(primary craniosynostosis) and can be recognized by abnormal head shape. 1 Secondary …

The term craniosynostosis was first used in 1830 by Otto to describe the premature fusion of
cranial sutures (Otto, 1830). Since this first identification of craniosynostosis as a distinct …

Background: Complex craniosynostoses (ie, multisutural, nonsyndromic) are rare and
present unique treatment challenges. The authors sought to assess long-term outcomes …
