Author(s):
Abstract:
Plagiocephaly (oblique skull) is premature fusion of one of the coronal sutures. Frontal plagiocephaly is a rare congenital deformity in the skull that is the most complicated form of craniosynostosis to treat. Examination of all sutures is necessary for diagnosis of craniosynostosisIn this article, a 10-month-old, healthy girl with deformity of the right forehead and orbit that is caused by frontal plagiocephaly and coronal unilateral synostosis is presented.This abnormality was corrected by frontal craniotomy and fronto-orbital complex advancement under general anesthesia.An exact clinical and radiographic (Multislice CT scan with 3- dimensional three dimensional reconstruction) examination with the suitable time of surgery is necessary for diagnosis of skull abnormality and prevention of treatment delay. Furthermore, 3D stereo-photo-grammetry is a radiation-free, non invasive method for evaluating the growth pattern of children in long term.
