Quantification of Head Shape and Cranioplasty Outcomes: Six-compartment Volume Method Applied to Sagittal Synostosis

Abstract

Spring-mediated cranioplasty does not return head shape back to normal, but results in significant improvements in the first year following surgery compared with the preoperative sagittal synostosis head shape. 3D imaging can be a valuable tool in assessing the volumetric changes due to surgery and growth in craniosynstosis patients.
