ABSTRACT
In syndromic craniosynostosis, the relation between the supraorbital area and the frontal bone is not good, and it is not possible to reform this area with 1-block advancement. To avoid this problem, the frontal bone is separated from the fronto-orbital bandeau, each is reshaped and remodeled separately, and then both are reattached. The retrusion of the midface, especially in syndromic craniosynostosis, is usually greater than that of cranial bones, so the technique usually separating the midface from the cranium is Le Fort III osteotomy, which allows differential distraction of each part. In this procedure, the cranial and midfacial bones are advanced simultaneously and differentially, both to the planned extent, in a single-stage operation, using rigid external distractor II, correcting exorbitism, respiratory embarrassment, and cranial structures and avoiding eye complications in the future. This procedure was used, with a follow-up, in 10 patients with syndromic craniosynostosis from 2 to 5 years.
