Abstract:
:An algorithm for the management of sagittal synostosis in older children who underwent delayed cranial vault reconstruction is presented. This algorithm tailors the surgical approach to the specific craniofacial deformity present in each case. The scaphocephalic deformity characteristic of sagittal synostosis varies significantly when presentation is delayed beyond the first year of life, the time during which reconstruction is usually performed. Sixteen patients with sagittal synostosis who presented after 12 months of age, and were a mean of 3.2 years of age at the time of cranial vault reconstruction, were reviewed. Four patients demonstrated preoperative symptoms and objective findings indicative of increased intracranial pressure, including frequent headaches and emesis, papilledema, or digital markings on computed tomographic scan. Each of the 16 patients underwent either (1) single-stage total vault reconstruction with or without concomitant fronto-orbital expansion; (2) two-stage total vault reconstruction with anterior two-thirds vault expansion followed by transverse occipital expansion and recession a mean of 8.7 months later; or (3) anterior two-thirds vault reconstruction with or without fronto-orbital expansion. In each case, the extent of the scaphocephalic deformity determined the procedure used. The presence of severe frontal bossing associated with transverse restriction of the orbitotemporal region was an indication for fronto-orbital expansion in addition to vault reconstruction, whereas significant occipital protrusion was an indication for transverse posterior vault expansion and recession in addition to anterior two-thirds vault reconstruction. Excellent aesthetic results were obtained in all cases regardless of the type of reconstruction performed. However, it is essential that the extent of the deformity be carefully evaluated preoperatively to permit selection of the appropriate technique for reconstruction.
