Abstract P23: Changes in Skull Dysmorphology with Age in Unilateral Coronal Synostosis
نویسندگان
چکیده
PURPOSE: While modern research on coronal craniosynostosis has vastly widened our breadth of knowledge regarding treatment of the condition, the mechanism underlying the development of the deformity remains uncovered and largely uninvestigated. This study evaluates midface and skull base development in nonsyndromic unilateral coronal synostosis (UCS), focusing on zygomatic and cranial base anatomical changes during the first year of life. Additionally, this study seeks to chronicle the changes over time in infancy in order to characterize the mechanistic progression of facial dysmorphology.

متن کاملBrain phenotypes in two FGFR2 mouse models for Apert syndrome.
Apert syndrome (AS) is one of at least nine disorders considered members of the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) -1, -2, and -3-related craniosynostosis syndromes. Nearly 100% of individuals diagnosed with AS carry one of two neighboring mutations on Fgfr2. The cranial phenotype associated with these two mutations includes coronal suture synostosis, either unilateral (unicoronal synosto...
متن کاملUnilateral and bilateral expression of a quantitative trait: asymmetry and symmetry in coronal craniosynostosis.
Bilateral symmetry in vertebrates is imperfect and mild asymmetries are found in normal growth and development. However, abnormal development is often characterized by strong asymmetries. Coronal craniosynostosis, defined here as consisting of premature suture closure and a characteristic skull shape, is a complex trait. The premature fusion of the coronal suture can occur unilaterally associat...
متن کاملSurgical treatment of craniosynostosis: outcome analysis of 250 consecutive patients.
OBJECTIVE Surgery for craniosynostosis has evolved rapidly over the past two decades, with increased emphasis on early, extensive operations. Older published series may not accurately reflect more recent experience. Our study was designed to analyze outcome in a large series of consecutive patients treated recently at a single center. METHODS We reviewed 250 consecutive patients who underwent...
متن کاملCorrection of Maxillofacial Deformities in a Patient with Unilateral Coronal Craniosynostosis (Plagiocephaly): A Case Report and a Review of Literatures
Plagiocephaly (oblique skull) is premature fusion of one of the coronal sutures. Frontal plagiocephaly is a rare congenital deformity in the skull that is the most complicated form of craniosynostosis to treat. Examination of all sutures is necessary for diagnosis of craniosynostosis In this article, a 10-month-old, healthy girl with deformity of the right forehead and orbit that is caused by f...
