ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT A multitude of operations exists for the treatment of patients with sagittal craniosynostosis presenting after 6âmonths of age, of which total cranial vault remodeling now provides the most reliable aesthetic outcome. As our national craniofacial center evolved and began to develop a comprehensive multi-disciplinary team to manage complex surgical cases, we offered cranial vault distraction as an alternative to more invasive surgery for late presentation nonsyndromic scaphocephaly. The authors conducted a retrospective review of all patients undergoing this procedure.An average distraction distance of 39.4âmm was achieved in 15 patients aged 1 to 9âyears. As a result, the cephalic index changed an average of 4%. The mean transfusion volume in the perioperative period was 32.47% of estimated blood volume. There were 2 complications requiring further operative intervention and distraction was stopped early in 1 patient.The authors propose that internal calvarial distraction is a viable alternative to total cranial vault remodeling for the management of late presentations of sagittal craniosynostosis.
