Objective: This study assesses the level of child-patient satisfaction with the surgical result after scaphocephaly correction and the difference between child-patient and parents' perspectives.
Methods: A questionnaire was sent out to children between 6 and 18 years old with isolated sagittal synostosis, who had undergone either a frontobiparietal remodeling or extended strip craniotomy, and separately to their parents.
Results: The questionnaire was completed by 96 patients, 81.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between skull growth and the development of papilledema in patients who underwent surgery for sagittal synostosis.
- Researchers analyzed occipitofrontal circumference (OFC) measurements at three time points, finding an initial decline in skull growth followed by stabilization in the long-term.
- Results indicated that smaller OFC measurements were significantly linked to a higher likelihood of developing papilledema, with specific thresholds identified for monitoring patients post-surgery.
Background: This study investigates the relationship between headache and the occurrence of signs associated with intracranial hypertension such as ophthalmic signs, restricted skull growth, and a vertex bulge in children who were operated on for sagittal synostosis.
Methods: A total of 94 patients (aged 6 to 18 years) with sagittal synostosis were asked to indicate their headache frequency. Based on their age at referral, the patients had undergone either frontobiparietal remodeling or an extended strip craniotomy.
