Abstract:Background: Metopic craniosynostosis (MC) represents 10% to 25% of craniosynostosis cases. Endoscopic-assisted strip craniectomy (ESC) with orthotic molding therapy provides a minimally invasive alternative to open fronto-orbital advancement. Herein, we describe a 3D photogrammetry methodology for measurement of regional cranial growth and inter-frontal angle (IFA) as well as examine factors that may contribute to successful outcomes after ESC. Methods: A retrospective review was performed on patients with MC … Show more
