BACKGROUND Crouzon syndrome is a rare genetic disorder inherited in autosomal dominant pattern with complete penetration and variable expressivity. Its most notable characteristic feature is premature synostosis of cranial sutures The case presented is of a 4 yr old boy with box like head with microcephaly, protuberant eyes, hydrocephalus, low visual acquity diagnosed as a case of crouzon syndr...

Congenital syngnathia is a rare anomaly characterised by the presence of soft tissue (synechia) or bony adhesions (synostosis) between the maxilla and mandible. A wide spectrum and range of severity have been documented in case reports. Primarily it manifests in the inability to open the mouth; impacting on mandibular growth, nutrition, speech and management of the airway. The bony adhesions ca...

OBJECTIVE Different types of surgical procedures are utilized to treat craniosynostosis. In most procedures, the fused suture is removed. There only a few reports on evolution sutures after correction To date, no published study describes neosuture formation total cranial vault remodeling. The objective this was understand bones in area coronal and lambdoid that were removed for complete remode...

BACKGROUND The results for nonunion surgery usually have been judged in terms of bony union, time to union, infection rate, range of motion for the adjacent joints, and muscle strength. The goal of this study was to assess the improvement of patient-oriented physical and mental functional outcomes. METHODS The functional status of 23 patients with nonunion of the lower extremity was assessed ...

BACKGROUND Controversy abounds as to how craniosynostosis affects intracranial volume and whether more extensive procedures achieve superior results. Intracranial volume and cephalic index were evaluated among nonsyndromic sagittal synostosis patients undergoing cranioplasty. METHODS Twenty-four children with isolated nonsyndromic sagittal synostosis underwent a total calvarial reconstruction...
