Frontal bone resorption after fronto-facial monobloc advancement in FGFR-related craniosynostoses: predictive factors.

Background: Fronto-facial monobloc advancement with internal distraction (FFMBA) is a central procedure in the management of FGFR-related craniosynostoses. Children undergoing FFMBA may present with resorption of the frontal bony flap in the months or years following surgery. Here, we aimed at identifying the clinical factors associated with resorption and its extent in patients with Crouzon and Pfeiffer syndromes.

Cerebral ischemia: a frequent complication of large traumatic epidural hematoma in infants.

Objective: Epidural hematoma (EDH) has rarely been studied specifically in infants. The objective of this study was to investigate the outcomes of patients aged < 18 months (infants) with EDH.

Methods: The authors conducted a single-center retrospective study of 48 infants aged less than 18 months who underwent an operation for a supratentorial EDH in the last decade.
