Facial Asymmetry in Children with Unicoronal Synostosis who have Undergone Craniofacial Reconstruction in Infancy

Abstract

Ninety percent of the UCS patients in the study had significant facial asymmetry throughout the facial area. The study demonstrates a methodology of facial asymmetry quantification well suited for soft-tissue surgical outcome evaluations and long-term follow-up studies in patients with craniofacial anomalies.
