From the early beginning, in 1977, of our experience in the treatment of trigonocephaly and with the follow-up of 263 patients, we have been convinced that it was a condition related to the skull base. It is now proved thank to the comparison between patient's CT scan and normal template (normal skull of the same age) in vestibular orientation. We used to correct this condition by a frontal reshaping and a rotation of the superior and lateral orbital rim along an oblique axis. We call that movement: "valgisation."

Purpose: The use of 3D-printing in every field of medicine is expanding, notably as an educational tool. The aim of this study was to assess how visuospatial abilities (VSA) of students may impact learning helped with 3D-printed models.
Methods: Participants were undergraduate medical school students during their clinical rotation in oral and maxillofacial surgery in two French Universities.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of the PRRX1 gene in craniosynostosis, focusing on how certain variants (missense and loss-of-function) affect craniofacial development, with previous research linking PRRX1 to preosteogenic cells in cranial sutures.
- Researchers used sequencing methods to identify rare variants in PRRX1 among patients suffering from craniosynostosis, discovering a total of 18 individuals with potential pathogenic variants and noting abnormal behavior of mutant proteins through immunofluorescence analyses.
- The findings highlight that PRRX1 plays a significant role in cranial suture development, and the presence of pathogenic variants is frequently inherited from non-affected relatives,

Craniostenosis is a morphological anomaly affecting about 0.5 of 1000 births and one third of the cases are of genetic origin. Among the syndromes responsible for craniostenosis, there is the Saethre-Chotzen syndrome due to a mutation of the TWIST 1 gene located on chromosome 7.

Craniosynostosis is a rare and complex pathology, and visuospatial skills are necessary for a good understanding of the condition. While the use of three-dimensional (3D) models has improved the understanding of complex craniofacial anatomy, no study has evaluated the impact of this teaching support on long-term retention. Our randomized controlled trial was designed to compare the long-term retention of information with 3D-printed models of four types of craniosynostosis versus classic 3D reconstructions displayed in two-dimensional (2D) among undergraduate students.

Background And Purpose: Morphological correction is one of the main aims of surgery for sagittal synostosis (SSO). Different surgical techniques have been developed; however, few studies have compared the different surgical protocols. The morphological outcome is poorly documented, because a consensual evaluation tool is lacking.
