Retrospective study on midfacial advancement in syndromic craniosynostosis: case series.

Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate elastic distraction surgical procedures performed on patients with syndromic craniosynostosis using cephalometric analyses.

Methods: Eleven patients who underwent surgical midfacial advancement were divided into three groups: G1 - monobloc frontofacial; G2 - Le Fort III; and G3 - high-level Le Fort I. The cephalometric analyses were manually created through cephalometric radiographs of each patient: T1 - preoperative; T2 - 6 months postoperatively; and T3 - 12 months postoperatively.
