Summary
Metopic synostosis, a premature fusion causing trigonocephaly, poses risks to brain development and facial structure. This study details a surgical technique to address these issues, aiming to minimize complications like temporal hollowing.
Area of Science:
- Craniofacial Surgery
- Pediatric Neurosurgery
- Plastic Surgery
Background:
- Trigonocephaly, resulting from metopic synostosis, presents risks of cerebral compression and craniofacial deformities.
- Existing surgical methods for trigonocephaly may lead to secondary temporal hollowing.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe a specific surgical technique for trigonocephaly.
- To evaluate the advantages and limitations of this technique.
- To highlight the role of resorbable osteosynthesis in current treatment strategies.
Main Methods:
- Detailed description of the surgical procedure for trigonocephaly at a national referral center.
- Focus on techniques to prevent or manage temporal hollowing.
- Incorporation of resorbable osteosynthesis materials.
Main Results:
- The described technique aims to effectively correct trigonocephaly.
- Potential advantages and limitations of the surgical approach are discussed.
- Resorbable osteosynthesis is presented as a viable component of the treatment.
Conclusions:
- The presented surgical technique offers a method for treating trigonocephaly.
- Careful consideration of potential complications, such as temporal hollowing, is essential.
- Resorbable osteosynthesis should be integrated into modern surgical protocols for trigonocephaly.

01:14Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
The superior view of the cranium shows the frontal and paired parietal bones.
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...

01:27Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
