Dynamic osteodistraction with springs – the Gothenburg experience of spring-assisted cranioplasty Open
Surgical treatment of craniosynostosis includes a wide range of techniques. Although a variety of more extensive cranioplasties have been employed to enhance outcomes, efforts to identify less invasive surgical approaches with better resul…

Prevalence and treatment outcomes of hydrocephalus among children with craniofacial syndromes Open
Introduction: Hydrocephalus is more common in patients with craniofacial syndromes (CS) relative to non-syndromic craniosynostosis, and the optimal management is challenging. This study examined the prevalence and treatment outcomes of hyd…

Staged dissection reduces blood loss in surgery for metopic synostosis Open
INTRODUCTION: Fronto-orbital remodelling for metopic synostosis is an extensive operation with substantial blood loss, particularly from emissary veins in the glabellar region. One possibility to reduce blood loss may be to stage dissectio…

Spring-assisted posterior vault expansion in children over 2 years of age with craniosynostosis Open
Background: This study evaluated spring-assisted posterior vault expansion (SA-PVE) in children aged > 2 years with craniosynostosis and signs of high intracranial pressure (ICP). Methods: We retrospectively analysed all consecutive patien…

Spring-Assisted Surgery of Unilambdoid Craniosynostosis Open
Craniosynostosis is traditionally treated with extensive cranial vault reconstructions (CVRs). Although less invasive techniques, such as endoscopic strip craniectomy with postoperative helmet therapy, have been successful, they also prese…

The value of genome-wide analysis in craniosynostosis Open
Background: This study assessed the diagnostic yield of high-throughput sequencing methods in a cohort of craniosynostosis (CS) patients not presenting causal variants identified through previous targeted analysis. Methods: Whole-genome or…

Correction of Unicoronal Synostosis With Springs: Two Patients With Improved Facial Symmetry Open
Objective: Surgical correction of unicoronal synostosis (UCS) entails extensive cranioplasties which do not address facial scoliosis. This paper presents the first results with springs that motivated the shift from extensive cranioplasties…

Improved Facial and Skull-Base Symmetry following Osteotomy and Distraction of Unilateral Coronal Synostosis Open
Background: Unilateral coronal synostosis (UCS) results in a surgically demanding deformation, as the deformity is asymmetric in the calvaria but also presents with facial scoliosis and orbital dystopia. Traditional cranioplasties correct …

Circulating Brain-Injury Markers After Surgery for Craniosynostosis Open
These represent the first results showing significantly increased plasma levels of brain-injury biomarkers after surgery for craniosynostosis. Furthermore, we found that more extensive cranial vault procedures resulted in higher levels of …

Health-related quality of life of children treated for non-syndromic craniosynostosis Open
Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) allows the acquisition of the subjective perspective of patients regarding their health and function; yet a very few studies have been evaluated HRQoL of patients treated for craniosynostosis (CS). In…

Health-related Quality of Life of Children Treated for Non-syndromic Craniosynostosis Open
Background: Assessing health-related quality of life (HRQoL) allows acquisition of the subjective perspective of patients regarding their health and functioning; however, little is known about the experiences of patients living with treate…

S4A-19 SESSION 4A: GENERALITIES IN CRANIOSYNOSTOSIS – PART I THE COGNITIVE PROFILE OF CHILDREN WITH NON-SYNDROMIC CRANIOSYNOSTOSIS Open
Introduction: Long-term neuropsychological and cognitive outcomes in patients with non-syndromic craniosynostosis have proven difficult to evaluate objectively due to methodological problems with published studies based on their small and …

S4A-15 SESSION 4A: GENERALITIES IN CRANIOSYNOSTOSIS – PART I CRANIOSYNOSTOSIS – A REVERSIBLE PATHOLOGY? NEOSUTURES APPEARING AFTER OSTEOTOMY COMBINED WITH SPRINGS Open
Introduction The formation of the cranial sutures, in utero, occurs when the ossification of the skull bones reaches predestined positions around gestational week 15 to 20. Craniosynostosis, and the consequent skull shape deformities, is t…

In search of a single standardised system for reporting complications in craniofacial surgery: a comparison of three different classifications Open
Comparing complication rates between centres is difficult due to the lack of unanimous criteria regarding what adverse events should be defined as complications and how these events should be compiled. This study analysed all adverse event…

Infantile myofibroma of the zygomatoco-maxillo-orbital complex: Case report with spontaneous regression Open
Introduction: Infantile myofibroma (IM) is a benign mesenchymal disorder. Although it is the most common tumor of infancy, it is a relatively rare pathological entity. IM occurs predominantly before the age of two. It is characterized by t…

A new quantitative image-based method for evaluation of bony temporal hollowing in metopic synostosis Open
Premature craniosynostosis is a congenital disorder causing a skull deformity. For both functional and cosmetic reasons, the deformity is surgically treated with a cranioplasty before the age of 1 year. Temporal hollowing is a common and u…
