Spatially Detailed 3D Quantification of Improved Facial Symmetry After Surgery in Children With Unicoronal Synostosis

Abstract

All patients presented with improved facial symmetry after surgery and the improvements were visually recognizable. However, only 1 (9.1%) of the 11 patients reached a level of facial asymmetry as low as that seen in the control group. The best outcome was, in general, seen in cases with mild facial asymmetry presurgically.
