Patient with trigonocephaly may present a prominent “keel”, forehead accompanied by recession of the lateral orbit rims, hipotelorism and constriction of the anterior frontal fossa. In a period between 2007…
Objectives : We evaluated the correlation between the skeletal facial advancement through Le Fort III osteotomy and the modification of polysomnographic values in syndromic patients with sleep respiratory disorders affected…
Goldenhar’s syndrome is a birth defect resulting from the mal-development of the first two branchial arches, with incomplete development of the ear, nose, soft palate, lip and mandible. The phenotype…
Background : Although helmet treatment is still controversially discussed, the efficiency is evident. The outcome depends significantly on an optimal entrance age of 4–6 months of life. But often parents…
Measuring the volume and quantifying the shape of orbits is a technical challenge. Here we aimed to define methods for measuring orbital volume and characterising orbital shape in patients with…
Background and objectives : Robin sequence (RS) is associated with glossoptosis, micrognathia, and airway obstruction. A U-shaped cleft palate may or may not be present. The retro-positioned mandible pushes the…
Introduction : Posterior vault remodelation can prevent intracranial hypertension, improve the Chiari malformation condition and the aesthetics concerns and delay the fronto-orbital advancement in syndromic craniosynostosis. Conventional techniques of posterior…
Background : Sphenoid dysplasia is a manifestation of Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), and occurs in over 7% of patients. Herniation of the temporal lobe through skull base defect produces spheno-orbialencephalocele….
Background : Distraction osteogenesis has been one of the most innovative concepts in craniomaxillofacial surgery through the last 25 years. Technology has evolved from the first application of external devices…
Background : Distraction osteogenesis (DO) as a treatment for pediatric craniomaxillofacial deformities enhances the patient’s typical restricted facial growth potential. Virtually planned tridimensional models are useful to design osteotomy’s location,…
