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

Metopic craniosynostosis is being reported with an increasing incidence and is now the
second most common type of isolated suture craniosynostosis. Numerous areas of …

Metopic craniosynostosis is the second most frequent type of craniosynostosis. When the
phenotypic presentation has been deemed severe the treatment is surgical in nature and is …

Background Surgical intervention for metopic synostosis is largely based on a subjective
impression of the presence and severity of trigonocephaly. Several objective methods have …

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

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: 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 …

OBJECTIVES To measure severity of trigonocephaly among infants with single-suture
metopic craniosynostosis by using a novel shape descriptor, the trigonocephaly severity …

Objective The authors developed and tested three-dimensional (3D) indices for quantifying
the severity of deformational plagiocephaly (DP). Design The authors evaluated the extent to …
