Article Synopsis
- - Isolated frontosphenoidal synostosis (FS) and isolated unicoronal synostosis (UC) can both cause fronto-orbital plagiocephaly, but they present with different orbital shapes and require distinct surgical corrections.
- - This study involved a retrospective evaluation of FS patients who underwent surgery, comparing their results with age-matched UC patients, focusing on pre- and postoperative orbital shape and volume using imaging software.
- - The findings indicated that FS orbits were significantly wider, shorter, and shallower than UC orbits, but surgery effectively equalized most of these differences except for the width of UC orbits, which remained narrower post-op.
