Abstract:Objective: Le Fort III osteotomies are used to advance the midface in children with midface hypoplasia and syndromic craniosynostosis. Complications can occur during the subcranial osteotomies, leading todural violations as well as vascular and neurologic injuries. In patients with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunts, CSF leak places them at risk of shunt infection. To avoid these injuries, surgeons may utilize an intracranial approach to gain optimal visualization of the cranial base for the horizontal cut throu… Show more
