Summary

Severe plagiocephaly often reduces orbital diameter. Surgical expansion and bone grafting of the supraorbital rim improve orbital symmetry and convexity in affected patients.

Background:

Moderate to severe plagiocephaly is characterized by a decreased transverse orbital diameter on the affected side.
Current surgical interventions aim to correct skull deformities and improve facial symmetry.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the efficacy of supraorbital rim expansion and bone grafting for correcting orbital asymmetry in plagiocephaly.
To assess the impact of this surgical technique on achieving proper supraorbital convexity.

Main Methods:

A surgical technique involving expansion of the supraorbital rim and autologous bone grafting was employed.
Ten patients with moderate to severe plagiocephaly underwent this procedure.

Main Results:

The surgical intervention successfully expanded the supraorbital rim on the affected side.
Improved orbital symmetry and satisfactory supraorbital convexity were achieved postoperatively.
All ten patients demonstrated positive outcomes following the procedure.

Conclusions:

Supraorbital rim expansion with bone grafting is an effective method for correcting orbital asymmetry in moderate to severe plagiocephaly.
This technique enhances orbital symmetry and facilitates the restoration of correct supraorbital convexity.
The procedure yielded satisfactory results in the treated patient cohort.
