[The range of craniosynostosis - timing and techniques of craniofacial repair]

7 Sep 2009 Craniofacial anomalies show a wide spectrum of phenotypes and imply functional and esthetic disfigurement above all in cases of syndromal patients. The development in the field of craniofacial surgery during the last decades has brought us a system ... Read more...

Le Fort III distraction: Part I. Controlling position and vectors of the midface segment.

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: The purpose of this investigation was to determine the response of the osteotomized Le Fort III midface bony segment to variations in the location and direction, or vector, of force application on using the rigid external distraction ... Read more...

Perioperative management of a child with von Willebrand disease undergoing surgical repair of craniosynostosis: looking at unusual targets.

30 Aug 2009 We report the successful management of a craniosynostosis repair in a child with severe Type I von Willebrand disease diagnosed during the preoperative assessment and treated by coagulation factor VIII and ristocetin cofactor. Collaboration among ... Read more...
