Serial Changes in Cranial Asymmetry During Helmet Therapy for Deformational Plagiocephaly.
J Craniofac Surg
January 2025
Division of Plastic Surgery, National Center for Child Health and Development.
Background: To analyze the serial changes in cranial asymmetry (CA) during helmet therapy for deformational plagiocephaly (DP).
Methods: The subjects were 159 patients with DP who visited National Center for Child Health and Development between October 2011 and March 2014 and completed helmet therapy. The authors retrospectively collected information from medical records and analyzed the rate of improvement of deformation.
Factors Influencing Fronto-Orbital Relapse in Patients With Syndromic Craniosynostosis: A 2 Decade Review.
J Craniofac Surg
December 2024
Division of Plastic and Maxillofacial Surgery, Children's Hospital Los Angeles.
Fronto-orbital retrusion may occur after primary surgical correction of craniosynostosis, particularly in patients with syndromic craniosynostosis. This study investigated reoperation rates and factors contributing to FO relapse among this cohort. A retrospective review evaluated reoperation for FO relapse in patients with syndromic multisuture craniosynostosis who underwent primary fronto-orbital advancement (FOA) + calvarial vault remodeling (CVR) at our institution between 2004 and 2024.

Background: Plagiocephaly, wherein infants' head exhibits a diagonal asymmetry, is currently diagnosed based on physicians' subjective judgment. Discrepancies between physician and parent perspectives may result in dissatisfaction with treatment outcomes. This problem highlights the need for an objective assessment system aligning with physician-made clinical diagnoses.

The forehead is the protective helmet of the brain, if we refer to the etymology of the word calvaria. Destroyed, it must be rebuilt; priority is given to its bone infrastructure, even though we can live without it, as long as the other tissues (skin, muscle, aponeurosis, meninge) are intact. Complex surgical project which will be mentioned when the multiplicity of techniques described demonstrates their imperfection and until now the best restoration of a missing tissue requires its replacement by the same tissue.

Article Synopsis
- This study looks at new helmet liners made from a special material called polyamide 12 (PA12) that can help protect against brain injuries when someone gets hit.
- The researchers tested different designs of these lattice structures and found that one design, called dode-medium, worked best in reducing damage to the brain during impacts.
- The results showed that these new liners could do a much better job than traditional foam liners, especially when it comes to protecting the brain during sideways hits.
