Quantification of Head Shape and Cranioplasty Outcomes: Six-compartment Volume Method Applied to Sagittal Synostosis.

Background: Premature fusion of the sagittal (midline) suture between 2 parietal bones is the most common form of craniosynostosis. Surgical correction is mandated to improve head shape and to decrease the risk of raised intracranial pressure. This study evaluated the utility of 3-dimensional (3D) imaging to quantify the volumetric changes of surgical correction.
