Reattachment of the Temporalis Muscle After Frontoorbital Advancement in Craniosynostosis Surgery.

Craniosynostosis surgery may result in temporal hollowing occasionally. Overexpansion of the normal side and undergrowth of the affected side exacerbate the problem in unilateral cases (like unicoronal synostosis). Temporalis muscle lies in the temporal fossa, and it is usually severed or detached from its origin in order to reach the lateral aspect of the fronto-orbital bar.
