Purpose The aim of this study was to emphasize the importance of preoperative surgical
planning using 3D skull models in craniosynostosis surgery. Methods By using 3D …

Introduction The interrelationship of skull base growth and craniosynostosis is one that is not
often taken into account in the clinical management of patients with craniofacial disorders by …

Objective Isolated sagittal craniosynostosis produces a scaphocephalic neurocranium
associated with abnormal basicranial morphology, providing additional evidence of the …

Craniosynostosis consists of a premature fusion of the sutures in an infant skull that restricts
skull and brain growth. During the last decades, there has been a rapid increase of …

Surgical intervention in cases of craniosynostosis often lacks objective criteria for the
reshaping process of the skull. The application of a statistical 3D-shape model of the upper …

Purpose Cranioplasty and modulation of frontoorbital advancement (FOA) in children with
craniosynostosis aims to achieve an attractive aesthetic and functional rehabilitation of the …

Virtual planning of open cranial vault reconstruction is used to simulate and define an pre-
operative plan for craniosynostosis surgery. However, virtual planning techniques are …

Purpose Predicting changes in face shape from corrective surgery is challenging in growing
children with syndromic craniosynostosis. A prediction tool mimicking composite bone and …

We report 41 cases of non-syndromic isolated sagittal synostosis in which evaluation of
intracranial volumes was undertaken. Twenty-six were male and fifteen were female. The …

Featured Application This review outlines the extant techniques and innovative
biotechnologies to implement the surgical treatment of craniosynostosis and related …
