Midface Hypoplasia and Cranial Base Morphology in Syndromic Craniosynostosis: A Comparative Analysis Study Using a Predictive Regression Model
Published on: November 4, 2025
Current approaches to management of nonsyndromic craniosynostosis
1Department of Plastic Surgery, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio, USA.
Purpose Of Review:
Surgical alternatives to traditional cranial vault remodeling for the treatment of craniosynostosis are being discussed in recent plastic and neurosurgical literature. This review highlights recent developments and discusses the risks as well as benefits of each.
Recent Findings:
Surgical treatment of craniosynostosis has evolved from simple suturectomy, to extensive cranial vault remodeling, and now back to the minimally invasive. Options today include endoscopic suturectomies, spring-mediated cranioplasties, and distraction osteogenesis as well as cranial vault remodeling. There are disagreements among centers on the most optimal timing and best operative procedure.
Summary:
Clinicians should be aware that different surgical treatments are rapidly being developed for nonsyndromic craniosynostosis.

Sutures of the Skull
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
