Disappointing results of spring-assisted cranial vault expansion in patients with Crouzon syndrome presenting with sagittal synostosis

The aim of this study was to report on a single center’s experience with spring-assisted cranial vault expansion (SAE) in patients Crouzon syndrome and sagittal suture synostosis. Strip craniotomy SAE has resulted successful outcomes low complication revision rates isolated scaphocephaly. However, recent suggests that synostosis (SS) who undergo are less favorable compared the those frontobiparietal (FBP) expansion. authors reviewed both operations performed at center noticed an upward skull, which may be related ventriculomegaly, concurrent intracranial hypertension poor aesthetic outcome. All diagnosed SS were treated required FBP operation. Based outcome, consider contraindication for correcting springs.
