In the case presented, Kleeblattschädel, or cloverleaf skull deformity, was treated successfully with a two-staged, generous craniectomy. The pertinent aspects of this rare anomaly are reviewed in light of information from other cases described previously. The present case illustrates that an early surgical approach of subtotal calvariectomy may improve the commonly predicted poor prognosis in patients with Kleeblattschädel anomaly if the clinical severity of the disease is not immediately overwhelming.
在本病例中，三叶形颅骨，即三叶草颅骨畸形，通过两阶段的广泛颅骨切除术得到了成功治疗。根据先前描述的其他病例信息，对这种罕见异常的相关方面进行了回顾。本病例表明，如果疾病的临床严重程度并非立即难以承受，那么早期进行颅骨次全切除术的手术方法可能会改善三叶形颅骨畸形患者通常预测的不良预后。
