ABSTRACT
Unilateral lambdoid synostosis is the rarest form of craniosynostosis. Surgical correction is technically challenging from a morphological standpoint and is used to decompress intracranial pressure. Herein, the authors present a "rotational advancement bone flap" technique for the repair of posterior plagiocephaly. A bicoronal skin incision was performed, to expose the occipital region. The rotational advancement bone flap was designed to hinge off the nonsynostotic side, and it was set up to include an occipital protrusion on the normal side. On the premature side, an advancement bone flap was set up to include the flattened and deformed occipital bone. A titanium cranial distractor, which was attached between the bone flap and the anterior bone. An absorbable plate, which would later become a hinge due to the movement of the bone flap, was attached to the area for reinforcement. The authors technique was able to decompress intracranial pressure with satisfactory esthetic outcomes.
