Metopic craniosynostosis results in trigonocephaly, characterized by a triangular forehead with metopic ridge, bitemporal pinching, and narrow-set eyes with recessed lateral orbital rims. Surgical management is controversial but may include open expansion and vault remodeling, to enhance neurocognitive and aesthetic outcomes. This article and video vignette depict the diagnosis and treatment of metopic craniosynostosis, demonstrating the senior author's open approach, three-dimensional virtual surgical planning, and technical steps.
额缝早闭导致三角头畸形，其特点为额部有额嵴，呈三角形，双侧颞部变窄，眼眶外侧缘凹陷，眼睛深陷。手术治疗存在争议，但可能包括开放性扩张和颅顶重塑，以改善神经认知和美观效果。本文和视频片段描述了额缝早闭的诊断和治疗，展示了资深作者的开放性入路、三维虚拟手术规划和技术步骤。
