Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the effectiveness of a surgical procedure (extended strip craniectomy with bilateral barrel staving) for treating isolated craniosynostosis of the sagittal suture in infants, specifically focusing on its impact on cranial shape without directly addressing forehead issues.
  • Results showed significant improvements in aspects like bossing angle and cephalic index over a year, although the cranial shape did not entirely match that of healthy peers, indicating partial normalization but not complete correction.
  • The research validates 3D photogrammetry as a useful noninvasive tool for assessing cranial changes post-surgery, suggesting potential for wider clinical applications in monitoring cranial morphology.
