Surgical treatment of sagittal synostosis by extended strip craniectomy: Cranial index, nasofrontal angle, reoperation rate, and a review of the literature

ESC is effective in treating non-syndromic sagittal synostosis. It significantly improved NFA without the need for direct frontal bone resection or frontal orbital osteotomy and significantly increased CI without adjunctive helmet treatment. Patients should be followed for at least 5 years after surgical correction as symptomatic restenosis, although rare, can occur.
