Boy with pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1a caused by GNAS gene mutation (deltaN377), Crouzon-like craniosynostosis, and severe trauma-induced bleeding.

29 Jun 2009 We report on a 6-month-old boy with craniosynostosis, pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1a (PHP1A), and a GNAS gene mutation. He had synostoses of the coronal, frontal, and sagittal sutures, brachyturricephaly, and hydrocephaly. He also had congenital ... Read more...

BaS analysis: suggesting a new cephalometric model in follow-up of patients with craniostenosis who underwent craniofacial advancement surgery after 1 year from the end of the distraction protocol.

29 Apr 2009 Evaluation of the relapse in patients with craniofacial malformation who underwent craniofacial advancement surgery is very difficult, and data are often unreliable. This is because common skeletal landmarks move from their original position, making ... Read more...

Ocular advancement in monobloc distraction.

29 Apr 2009 BACKGROUND: Monobloc distraction has been demonstrated to be an efficacious, safe, and stable method of providing functional and aesthetic improvement in children with syndromic craniosynostosis. Although the movement of bony structures following ... Read more...
