Patients with Apert syndrome have bilateral coronal craniosynostosis, along with a distinguishing feature of their many deformity, called tower skull. Surgical correction of this deformity is the mainstay of treatment. We describe 3 patients molded top skull after front bone osteotomy orbital bar advancement. This successfully restricted growth of their top skull while allowing growth in other dimensions. Utilization of top-skull molding after cranial surgery shows promise of satisfaction in this setting.
患有Apert综合征的患者有双侧冠状缝早闭,同时伴有许多畸形特征,其中一种称为塔状头颅。手术矫正这种畸形是主要的治疗方法。我们描述了3例在额骨截骨及眶缘推进术后进行顶颅骨塑形的患者。这成功地限制了顶颅骨的生长,同时允许其他维度的生长。颅骨手术后使用顶颅骨塑形在这种情况下显示出令人满意的前景。
