ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Late presentation sagittal craniosynostosis presents a unique challenge due to the decreased ability of the skull to repair the bony defects created by standard of care techniques. Distraction osteogenesis is a viable strategy to correct this defect in late presenting cases. The authors describe a variation in technique in which the temporalis muscle origin is retained, creating an osteoplastic bone flap with retained vascularity through the tem-poralis muscle. This may improve postoperative bony healing of bony defects in this compromised population. The authors present two patients who presented to them late with sagittal synostosis who were treated with distraction osteogenesis in which vascular continuity to the parietal bones is preserved through the temporalis muscle.
