Systemic Review and overview about Frontoorbital Advancement in Coronal and Metopic Craniosynostosis

Abstract

Craniosynostosis is the premature closure of one or more of the sutures normally separating the infant's skull bony plates, causing abnormal growth of the cranial vault, which may affect brain growth and development. Craniosynostosis can happen as an isolated defect (non-syndromic) or as a part of a syndrome. Computerized tomography plays an important role in the diagnosis of craniosynostosis. Surgical treatment in the form of fronto-orbital advancement and forehead reshaping to correct the supraorbital rim recession and the abnormal form of the cranium. The goal of operative correction is to improve functional and aesthetic outcomes.
