OBJECT The authors present the results of treating infants with multiple-suture nonsyndromic craniosynostosis in whom the authors used minimally invasive endoscopy-assisted techniques and postoperative cranial molding over an 11-year period. METHODS A total of 21 patients who presented with multiple-suture (nonsyndromic) craniosynostosis were treated using minimally invasive endoscopy-assiste...

We would like to present a case of Klippel-Feil Syndrome in which it is associated with multiple cervical vertebra synostosis, short neck, cervical rib, congenital sclerosis, platybasia, spina-bifida and deafness. We are revising the case history of this syndrome.

The aim of this study is to determine the different therapeutic options described for the treatment of radioulnar synostosis, and report our experience with posterior interosseous antegrade flow pedicled flap with technical amendments. Two patients, who were treated with the designed flap, and with more than one year of follow-up, were reviewed. The technical innovations, end result and complic...

We report on a patient with humeroradioulnar synostosis and lambdoid synostosis. The case differs from three previously described cases in minor details, but the upper limb abnormalities are strikingly similar.

We reviewed 25 patients ascertained through the finding of trigonocephaly/metopic synostosis as a prominent manifestation. In 16 patients, trigonocephaly/metopic synostosis was the only significant finding (64%); 2 patients had metopic/sagittal synostosis (8%) and in 7 patients the trigonocephaly was part of a syndrome (28%). Among the nonsyndromic cases, 12 were males and 6 were females and th...

Post-traumatic radioulnar synostosis is a rare complication of forearm fracture. Resulting in loss of forearm axial rotation, it is functionally very disabling. The surgical indication, timing of operation, surgical technique, interest and type of adjuvant treatment are all issues with which physicians managing radioulnar synostosis must deal. No therapeutic consensus yet exists, but a wide var...

OBJECT Chiari malformation (CM) Type I is frequently associated with craniosynostosis. Optimal management of CM in patients with craniosynostosis is not well-established. The goal of this study was to report on a series of pediatric patients with both craniosynostosis and CM and discuss their management. METHODS The authors searched the medical records of 383 consecutive patients treated for ...
