Morphological integration of the skull in craniofacial anomalies.

30 Jul 2009 OBJECTIVES - To understand how surgical interventions impact the organization and internal integration of the major components of the skull, we address the functional and developmental relationships during perinatal development. METHODS - A number ... Read more...

Characteristics, head shape measurements and developmental delay in 287 consecutive infants attending a plagiocephaly clinic.

20 Jun 2009 AIM: To describe the characteristics, developmental status and severity of head shape deformation in infants presenting to a plagiocephaly clinic. METHODS: Head shape was measured and neck function assessed in 287 consecutive infants presenting to a ... Read more...

Pfeiffer syndrome twins: despite improved correction in one twin, growth disturbance results in similar need for subsequent monobloc advancement.

29 Apr 2009 BACKGROUND: Twins with Pfeiffer syndrome (or acrocephalosyndactyly) had a similar phenotypic appearance with findings of classic or type 1 Pfeiffer syndrome, including bicoronal and sagittal craniosynostoses, midface hypoplasia, and broad ... Read more...
