Non-syndromic oxycephaly and brachycephaly: a review

Child's Nervous System, 2012
Non-syndromic coronal synostoses oxycephaly and brachycephaly (NSCSOB) are rare. Their natural history, surgical management, and outcome are debated.We reviewed the available literature on NSCSOB. In addition, we reviewed retrospectively our experience with cases of NSCSOB, managed and operated by our joint craniofacial team since 1984.

Postoperative Mental and Morphological Outcome for Nonsyndromic Brachycephaly

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2002
Bilateral coronal synostosis causes functional and morphological problems that require fronto-orbital advancement in infancy to correct the brachycephalic deformity and to prevent mental impairment caused by the intracranial hypertension. In this study, 99 children with isolated cases of brachycephaly were prospectively followed to study their ...

Prevalence and Consequences of Positional Plagiocephaly and Brachycephaly

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2015
The incidence of positional plagiocephaly and brachycephaly in infants has increased. Treatment options include physiotherapy and helmet therapy.No information exists on the prevalence, cosmetic, and psychological consequences of plagiocephaly and brachycephaly later in life.

The Foramen magnum in isolated and syndromic brachycephaly

Child's Nervous System, 2013
Though the foramen magnum (FM) is often altered in complex craniosynostosis, no study analysed the FM dimensions in patients with brachycephaly specifically.We measured the FM area, sagittal and transverse diameters on preoperative CT scans in patients with bicoronal synostosis (n = 40) and age-matched control group (n = 18).

Relationship between basilar invagination and brachycephaly in Northeastern Brazil

European Journal of Radiology, 2018
Basilar invagination (BI) is an abnormality characterized by a superior projection at the craniovertebral junction (CVJ). The high prevalence of BI in Northeastern Brazil associated with brachycephaly, which is measured by the cranial index (CI), has been widely reported by several neurosurgeons and radiologists from that region since the 1950s ...

Partial Unilateral Cryptophthalmos by Syndactyly, Brachycephaly, and Renal Anomalies

American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1975
The cryptophthalmos syndrome consists of cryptophthalmos, dyscephaly, syndactyly, and genitourinary abnormalities. A 2-year-old girl had unilateral partial cryptophthalmos associated with brachycephaly, unilateral syndactyly, and unilateral poor renal visualization.

Helmet therapy for positional plagiocephaly and brachycephaly

BMJ, 2014
Negligible treatment effects in the first randomized evaluation Positional plagiocephaly and brachycephaly affects approximately 20% of infants and is the most common reason for referral in many craniofacial centers.1 2 This reflects an increase in the incidence of the condition after several countries implemented public health campaigns that ...

Reduced Intercarotid Artery Distance in Syndromic and Isolated Brachycephaly

Pediatric Neurology, 2018
The morphology of the skull base can be altered in craniosynostoses. The objective of this study is to evaluate the reduced intercarotid artery distance in the lacerum segment in patients with syndromic and isolated brachycephaly.The distances between the inner walls of the carotid canal at the lacerum segment were measured on high-resolution CT scans ...

Deformational Plagiocephaly, Brachycephaly, and Scaphocephaly. Part I

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2011
Cranial deformation is the most common cause of abnormal head shape. Intentional and unintentional alterations of cranial form are associated with the application of external pressure to the growing infant head, and such changes have been recorded throughout man's history. Recent changes in Western sleeping practices, instituted to reduce the incidence
