Objective:
Anterior plagiocephaly is a condition in which the unicoronal suture is prematurely fused and the skull shape will change due to asymmetric growth.
Methods:
This is a retrospective study describing the unilateral limited frontal osteotomy for remodeling deformed areas in the frontal and orbital bone and its pros and cons.
Results:
Twenty-eight patients were included in the study, with a mean age of 16.8 (±11.7) months. Mean intraoperative bleeding was 78.1 (±23.6) mL. One (3.57%) patient developed postoperative bleeding, around 200 mL. After 12 months, all patients (100%) had grade I Whitaker.
Conclusion:
The described technique is safe and may have promising short-term outcomes for the correction of anterior plagiocephaly.
