Summary

Early surgical correction for trigonocephaly (metopic craniosynostosis) is crucial for optimal visual outcomes. Delayed surgery in children with trigonocephaly is linked to astigmatism and strabismus.

Area of Science:

  • Craniofacial surgery
  • Pediatric ophthalmology
  • Neurosurgery

Background:

  • Trigonocephaly, a rare craniosynostosis from metopic suture closure, can impact visual development.
  • Assessing visual outcomes in surgically treated trigonocephaly patients is essential.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the visual results in children who underwent surgical correction for trigonocephaly.
  • To determine the optimal timing for surgical intervention to prevent visual impairment.

Main Methods:

  • Eight children with trigonocephaly underwent surgical correction using a consistent craniofacial technique.
  • 3D CT scans assessed skull base deformities (Genitori types II and III).
  • Ophthalmological examinations and 2-6 year follow-ups were conducted.

Main Results:

  • 3D CT revealed frontozygomatic region deformities.
  • Late surgical intervention correlated with significant astigmatism.
  • A mild degree of strabismus was common among patients.

Conclusions:

  • Surgical correction before 6 months is recommended due to visual system immaturity.
  • Multidisciplinary collaboration (neurosurgery, pediatrics, ophthalmology) is vital.
  • Ophthalmologists need expertise in craniosynostosis to manage visual complications.
