[Plagiocephaly. Craniofacial asymmetry with variable curling-up].

The plagiocephaly syndrome is an asymmetrical cranial deformity due to premature synostosis of a coronal hemi-suture. The predominant alteration is at the spheno-frontal suture. The classification is attempted between the isolated plagiocephaly (P) an plagiocephaly with hypertelorism, on one side, that are to be distinguished from complex asymmetrical cranio-facial deformities.

[Electroencephalographic impact of propofol anesthesia].

Two groups of patients were studied. In group A, propofol was used alone, given by repeat injections of 2.5 mg X kg-1 in 30 s, in 5 patients undergoing percutaneous thermocoagulation of the Vth cranial nerve.

[Anesthesia and postoperative care in reconstructive surgery of cranio-facial dysmorphias in children (about 100 cases) (author's transl)].

Hundred cases of anesthesia for surgery in craniofacial dysmorphias in children are reported. 40 children were below 2 years of age, 14 were 2-5 years old and 46 were 5 to 15 years old. Surgery was of 3-12 hours duration (mean: 5 h 30).
