78 patients underwent surgery for scaphocephaly at the mean age of 1.2 (0.2-14.7) years in Faculty Hospital Motol in Prague. All operated children ("free bone flap" technique) have been longitudinally followed-up by the same neurosurgeon and by the same anthropologist. Non-invasive direct cephalometry has been an inevitable part of diagnostics, surgical treatment indication, postoperative follow-up and evaluation of the outcome of the treatment. Better cosmetic results in children operated before one year of age (the change of index cephalicus 6.5 units) in comparison with those treated later (3.7 units) is demonstrated (p = 0.02).
78例舟状头畸形患者在布拉格莫托尔大学医院接受了手术，平均年龄为1.2（0.2 - 14.7）岁。所有接受手术的儿童（“游离骨瓣”技术）均由同一位神经外科医生和同一位人类学家进行纵向随访。非侵入性直接头测量法一直是诊断、手术治疗指征、术后随访及治疗效果评估中不可或缺的一部分。结果表明，与一岁以后接受手术的儿童（头指数变化3.7个单位）相比，一岁以前接受手术的儿童（头指数变化6.5个单位）的美容效果更佳（p = 0.02）。
