Study Design Retrospective analysis at a tertiary care center. Objective This study describes method of analyzing postoperative results using lateral view clinical photographs to create normalized projection ratios the glabella and radix. Methods We reviewed preoperative 15 patients. All were in Frankfort horizontal plane. calculated distances between (a) tragus cornea, (b) cornea radix, (c) gl...

INTRODUCTION: Traditional frontoorbital advancement with a supraorbital bar is the standard technique for correcting coronal craniosynostosis. However, several reports indicate that cranioplasty using distraction osteogenesis can be an alternative. To maximize the advantages of distraction, preservation of the dura attachment to the frontal bone appears to be important. Therefore, we designed a...

Decompressive craniectomy is reserved for extreme cases of intracranial hypertension. An uncommon complication known as paradoxical herniation has been documented within weeks to months following surgery. Here we present a unique case within days of surgery. Since standard medical treatment for intracranial hypertension will exacerbate paradoxical herniation, any abrupt neurological changes fol...

INTRODUCTION: Congenital hydrocephalus, the most common cause of macrocephaly, is usually treated with ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunting. Despite shunting, changes to the overlying cranial bones cause calvarial expansion and distortion. Reduction cranioplasty can be performed to approach proper cranial size, shape, and cephalocranial proportion. However, consistent results are difficult to ach...

The paper characterizes the methods of edge detection in the images, which can be used in the reverse engineering system. The method of edge detection by the directional illumination analysis has been shown. Described method is used in the reverse engineering system for preparing the models of the human skulls with holes after the craniotomy, and for designing the skull’s prosthesis for craniop...
