Abstract:Purpose: Early onset of minor suture fusion in syndromic craniosynostosis is associated with midface dysplasia and is a common indication for craniofacial surgery. However, the potential effects of fusion severity on craniofacial growth patterns are not well understood. This study seeks to describe the impact of minor suture fusion severity on midface morphology in Crouzon syndrome. Methods: Pre-operative computed tomography images (CT) of 63 patients with Crouzon syndrome and 63 normocepahlic controls were in… Show more
