Trigonocephaly – A case series

PurposeTo esthetically evaluate the surgical outcome in children with non-syndromic craniosynostosis.Patients and methodsThree consecutive patients with non-syndromic trigonocephaly were included in the study.ResultA total of three children with isolated non-syndromic metopic craniosynostosis were analyzed. The children were treated with supra-orbital bar advancement and cranial vault remodeling. The mean age at the time of initial operation was 9 months. All children achieved desirable esthetic results and there was no operative mortality.ConclusionThe endocranial base in non-syndromic craniosynostosis has a suture-specific dysmorphology that normalizes, to variable degrees, after cranio-orbital surgery in infancy. Hence, timely restorations of facial form by surgery will not only improve morphology but also prevent functional disturbances and will result in less psychological trauma from peers and society in general.
