Metopic synostosis: evaluation of aesthetic results.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The cephalic index is often used to evaluate sagittal craniosynostosis corrections; however, validation of this measure remains untested. METHODS:A three-part study was designed to (1) determine the normal distribution of cephalic indices in untreated sagittal craniosynostosis; (2) examine index values in t...
