Endoscopic-assisted surgery effectively treated nonsyndromic coronal craniosynostosis in 72 patients. This minimally invasive technique corrected facial deformities with excellent safety and outcomes, offering a viable early treatment option.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Craniofacial Surgery

Background:

  • Nonsyndromic coronal craniosynostosis is a congenital condition characterized by premature fusion of the coronal suture.
  • This fusion can lead to abnormal head shape and potential cosmetic and functional deficits, including vertical dystopia and nasal deviation.
  • Traditional surgical approaches may involve significant morbidity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of endoscopic-assisted techniques for treating nonsyndromic coronal craniosynostosis.
  • To assess the correction of associated craniofacial deformities.
  • To determine the viability of this approach as an early treatment option.

Main Methods:

  • Seventy-two patients with nonsyndromic coronal craniosynostosis underwent endoscopic-assisted surgery.

  • A 5-mm osteotomy was created to release the stenosed coronal suture, extending from the anterior fontanelle to the pterion.
  • The procedure was performed with a focus on minimal invasiveness.

    • Main Results:

    • All 72 patients tolerated the endoscopic-assisted procedure well.
    • No mortalities or significant morbidities were reported.
    • Blood transfusions were not required for any patient.
    • Successful correction of vertical dystopia, nasal deviation, and orbital deformities was achieved in most cases.

    Conclusions:

    • Endoscopic-assisted surgery is a safe and effective treatment for nonsyndromic coronal craniosynostosis.
    • This minimally invasive technique provides good correction of associated craniofacial deformities.
    • It represents a viable and advantageous alternative for the early management of this condition.
