AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
A modified technique for the surgical correction of trigonocephaly is presented. The technical modifications are designed both to increase the stability of fixation of the supraorbital bar and lateral canthal advancements and to increase interorbital distance and anterior cranial fossa volume when utilized in those patients who exhibit the full expression of trigonocephaly, including midline ridging, bifrontal recession, hypotelorbitism, shortened anterior cranial fossa, deficient projection of lateral orbit, and bitemporal narrowing. It is a modification of the supraorbital bar remodeling/advancement procedure as originally described by Marchac with the introduction of a nasofrontal osteotomy and superior osteotomy bone graft and midline miniplate fixation of the supraorbital bar to the nasofrontal junction. Its use in 20 patients has been favorable.

Article Synopsis
- The study introduces automated surgical planning for cranial vault remodeling (CVR) in cases of unicoronal synostosis, specifically focusing on the challenges posed by the asymmetric nature of this deformity.
- Using software like Geomagic Freeform Plus, researchers developed virtual workflows that involved comparing reconstructed skull models to normal skull parameters through various measurements, resulting in different performance ratings.
- The findings showed significant advancements in key skull areas with the highest performing model closely matching a normal skull, marking a groundbreaking approach to improving surgical outcomes in asymmetric craniosynostosis.

Background: The objective of this study is to report the outcomes of a modified comprehensive Apert syndrome surgical protocol in which fat injection was performed during early infancy concurrent with postposterior vault distraction osteogenesis (PVDO) distractor removal.
Methods: A retrospective study was performed on 40 consecutive young patients with Apert syndrome who underwent PVDO and subsequent distractor removal between 2012 and 2022. Of these 40 patients, 12 patients underwent facial fat injection concurrent with distractor removal to treat residual supraorbital bar recession as part of a modified comprehensive Apert syndrome surgical protocol.
Craniofacial Encephalocele: Updates on Management.

Craniofacial encephaloceles are rare, yet highly debilitating neuroanatomical abnormalities that result from herniation of neural tissue through a bony defect and can lead to death, cognitive delay, seizures, and issues integrating socially. The etiology of encephaloceles is still being investigated, with evidence pointing towards the Sonic Hedgehog pathway, Wnt signaling, glioma-associated oncogene (GLI) transcription factors, and G protein-coupled receptors within primary cilia as some of the major genetic regulators that can contribute to improper mesenchymal migration and neural tube closure. Consensus on the proper approach to treating craniofacial encephaloceles is confounded by the abundance of surgical techniques and parameters to consider when determining the optimal timing and course of intervention.

Introduction: Trigonocephaly (TC), the tapering of the metopic suture toward the anterior, lateral inadequacy of supraorbital bar, hypoplasia of the ethmoid bone, and hypotelorism due to orbital medialization leads to a triangular shape in the head together with frontotemporal stenosis and widening of the biparietal diameter. Arachnoid cysts (ACs) are benign cysts, which are formed by cerebrospinal-fluid entrapment into the arachnoid membrane due to duplication or separation of the arachnoid membrane layers. ACs are typically located in the middle cranial fossa and Sylvian fissure region.
