Abstract:
The authors report a clinical study in 51 patients with scaphocephaly. Since 1986 the mathematical patterns of projection geometry have been applied to the reshaping of the skull in the early surgical correction of scaphocephaly. The mathematical and geometric principles are discussed and the surgical technique utilized is illustrated. Results are presented. The authors, encouraged by the very satisfactory results obtained, suggested the application of the method for the reshaping of the skull in other craniofacial malformations.
