Article Synopsis
- A multicenter study aimed to analyze long-term head shape results following three endoscopic strip craniectomy techniques used to correct sagittal craniosynostosis.
- The techniques compared were spring-assisted strip craniectomy, wide-strip craniectomy with additional osteotomies, and narrow-strip craniectomy, with data collected from multiple hospitals.
- Results indicated that while all procedures corrected head shape effectively, the spring-assisted method showed the best normalization of frontal features, the wide-strip method was better at correcting occipital protrusion, and the narrow-strip technique produced intermediate results.
Anterior "W" Tongue Reduction for Macroglossia in Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome.
Cleft Palate Craniofac J
September 2022
Introduction: Macroglossia occurs in 80% to 99% of patients with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) and a variety of surgical techniques for tongue reduction are offered by surgeons. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the postoperative outcomes of the anterior "W" tongue reduction technique in patients with BWS.
Methods: A retrospective review was conducted of all patients diagnosed with BWS that underwent an anterior "W" tongue reduction for macroglossia in the past 7 years, performed by 2 surgeons.
Crouzon syndrome is a known craniosynostosis syndrome with a heterogenous presentation. Suture closure can rapidly develop postnatally and involve multiple sutures, requiring vigilant clinical monitoring to prevent delay in diagnosis and developing intracranial hypertension. The authors present the case of a male patient with Crouzon syndrome who developed postnatal pansynostosis at 18 months of age when several missed appointments led to diagnosis after complete closure of all sutures and signs of elevated intracranial pressure.
