Surgical treatment of trigonocephaly. Experience with 30 cases.

Abstract

Trigonocephaly results from premature closure of the metopic suture. We report our experiences with 30 patients who underwent surgical treatment. In our opinion, this type of craniosynostosis also involves sphenoid bone dysplasia. For this reason, our surgical procedure includes turning the orbital ridge away from the midline, frontal vault remodeling, and a wide ostectomy of the pterional bone.
