Utilizing Computer-Assisted Design and Virtual Surgical Planning for Correction of Unilateral Lambdoid Synostosis

Unilateral lambdoid synostosis is the rarest form of single-suture craniosynostosis. Although various surgical approaches have been described, cranial vault remodeling remains the predominant approach. To aid in surgical planning, preoperative virtual surgical modeling using a patient's presenting computed tomography scan can be used to increase reconstructive precision and to reduce operative time. Presented is a 7-month-old male with unilateral lambdoid synostosis who underwent medically modeled cranial vault reconstruction.
