Value of 3D imaging for the study of craniofacial malformations in children.

Three-dimensional (3D) imaging was performed on 150 children with craniofacial malformations divided into three groups: craniostenosis, craniofacial dysraphism and labio-maxillo-palatine clefts arbitrarily included in a corpus of constitutional and acquired abnormalities. The authors believe that this technique is of interest not only for the management of these children, but also to understand the pathogenesis of their malformations.
