Resumen
La craneoplastia reconstructiva secundaria después del avance frontoorbital (FOA) es común, especialmente en niños mayores. La intervención oportuna es crucial para obtener mejores resultados en la reparación de la craneosinostosis.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Cirugía craneofacial
- Neurocirugía pediátrica
- Cirugía plástica
Sus antecedentes:
- El avance frontorbitario (FOA) es el procedimiento quirúrgico estándar para la craneosinostosis con dismorfología frontorbitaria.
- La incidencia y los factores de riesgo para la craneoplastia reconstructiva secundaria después de FOA no están bien documentados.
- Este estudio aborda la brecha en la comprensión de las tasas de craneoplastia secundaria después de FOA.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Determinar la incidencia de las operaciones de craneoplastia secundarias después de la FOA primaria.
- Identificar los factores de riesgo asociados con la necesidad de cirugía reconstructiva secundaria.
- Para analizar los tipos de craneoplastia secundaria realizados (implante frente a injerto automático).
Principales métodos:
- Revisión retrospectiva de pacientes de 0 a 16 años que se sometieron a AFO primaria entre 2007 y 2015.
- Se utilizaron los datos de facturación multicéntrica y los códigos de la terminología de procedimiento actual (CPT) para identificar los procedimientos de craneoplastia secundaria.
- Los datos analizados se basan en la edad del paciente en el FOA inicial y el tamaño del defecto craneal.
Principales resultados:
- Se realizó una craneoplastia secundaria en el 29,6% de los 2026 pacientes después de la FOA primaria.
- Se observaron tasas más altas de craneoplastia secundaria en niños mayores (75,2% en edades de 6 a 16 años frente a 26,7% en edades de 0 a 5 años).
- El autoinjerto fue más común (62,7%) que el implante (31,0%) para la craneoplastia secundaria, particularmente para defectos más grandes (> 5 cm).
Conclusiones:
- La craneoplastia reconstructiva secundaria para defectos grandes (> 5 cm) después de FOA es frecuente.
- La edad mayor en el momento de la AFO inicial es un factor de riesgo significativo para la necesidad de una craneoplastia secundaria.
- Se recomienda la intervención temprana de FOA para optimizar el crecimiento craneal y potencialmente reducir la necesidad de cirugías posteriores.

Overview of the Skull
12.2K
The cranium (skull) is the skeletal structure of the head that supports the face and protects the brain. It is subdivided into the facial bones and the brain case, or cranial vault. The facial bones underlie the facial structures, form the nasal cavity, enclose the eyeballs, and support the teeth of the upper and lower jaws.
The cranial vault surrounds and protects the brain and houses the middle and inner ear structures. This cavity is bounded superiorly by the rounded top of the skull, which...

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
7.6K
The superior view of the cranium shows the frontal and paired parietal bones.
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...

Cranial Bones: Lateral View
6.8K
The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

Sutures of the Skull
13.9K
The human skull is composed of several bones that come together to protect the brain and support the structures of the face. The junctions where these bones meet are called sutures.
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...
