Craniofacial Reconstruction of the Skull in Anterior Plagiocephaly: A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Advances in Medicine and Medical Research - Year 2016, Vol 18, Issue 2
Abstract
Anterior plagiocephaly is the third most common form of non-syndromic craniosynostoses and results from the premature unilateral fusion of the coronary suture. The main features consist of forehead, supraorbital arch and anterior cranial fossa deformation with orbital asymmetry. The treatment is surgical and the goal the relief of the compressed brain tissue and an acceptable aesthetic effect. We report a case of unilateral anterior plagiocephaly where an extensive craniofacial reconstruction was performed.
