Studies of isolated craniosynostosis have shown biomechanical and biochemical influences on the craniofacial phenotype, resulting from both genetic and epigenetic factors. Much less attention has been directed toward the morphology of the brain, despite the interactive nature of the developing skull and developing brain. The aim of this study is to define the morphology of the brain in nonsyndr...

AIM Barrel stave osteotomy is a widely used procedure in neurosurgery for the majority of craniosynostosis patients. Both in the intraoperative and postoperative periods, there is inevitable leakage type bleeding from the bones undergoing osteotomy. A number of studies have been performed in order to prevent this complication but a concise procedure is still lacking. MATERIAL AND METHODS Syno...

OBJECTIVE Different types of surgical procedures are utilized to treat craniosynostosis. In most procedures, the fused suture is removed. There only a few reports on evolution sutures after correction To date, no published study describes neosuture formation total cranial vault remodeling. The objective this was understand bones in area coronal and lambdoid that were removed for complete remode...

C raniosynostosis, the premature fusion of one or more sutures of the skull, is a common craniofacial anomaly, with an estimated incidence of 1/2000 to 1/3000 births. 2 Characteristic deformities of skull shape occur as a result of different patterns of sutural fusion, while compensatory skull expansion occurs at unaffected sutures to accommodate the growing brain. Premature fusion of the sagit...

Introduction: Considering the variety of their clinical, radiological, and etiological manifestations, congenital abnormalities upper limbs represent complex diseases. They can be separated into brachydactyly, duplication, differentiation failure, training failure. Ulnar longitudinal deficiency, a deformity that belongs to first group is uncommon, manifests differently in forearm hand. Postaxia...

introduction: cleft lip (cl) and cleft palate (cp) are among the most common congenital anomalies. constituting 65% of head and neck anomalies in isolated or syndromic forms, they are considered as the most common head and neck congenital deformities in children. methods: 15 children from the tabriz children hospital were evaluated in this descriptive-analytic cross sectional study that possess...

The relationship of mandibular condyle dimensions and its association with unilateral posterior crossbite (UPXB) has been suggested in the literature. The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate mandibular condyles on the left and right sides and between crossed and non-crossed sides in the sagittal and coronal planes, using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Twenty CBCT images of ...

Craniosynostosis is defined as the premature fusion of one or more of the cranial sutures. It leads not only to secondary distortion of skull shape but to various complications including neurologic, ophthalmic and respiratory dysfunction. Craniosynostosis is very heterogeneous in terms of its causes, presentation, and management. Both environmental factors and genetic factors are associated wit...
