Three-dimensional computed tomography cephalometry of plagiocephaly: asymmetry and shape analysis.

Cleft Palate Craniofac J

March 2006

Australian Craniofacial Institute, Women's and Children's Hospital, 72 King William Road, North Adelaide, SA 5006, Australia.

Objective: To investigate facial asymmetry associated with both deformational and synostotic plagiocephaly and to identify variables based on skeletal landmarks that distinguish the conditions and quantify severity.

Design: Retrospective, cross sectional.

Setting: Australian Craniofacial Unit, Adelaide.

Object: In recent years, comparisons between intracranial volumes (ICVs) in patients with craniosynostosis and healthy patients have given variable results, leading to questions regarding the validity of the normal reference material and the comparability of the measurement techniques. In this study, ICVs in patients with nonsyndromal craniosynostosis without previous surgical intervention were compared with the ICVs of a normal population of European descent determined using the same method for each group.

Methods: Determination of ICV was based on measuring the area of intersection in each computerized tomography slice.
