The Simultaneous Use of Spring-Mediated Cranioplasty and Distraction Osteogenesis as a Safe Modality for Multi-Suture Craniosynostosis

Abstract

Craniosynostosis caused by premature fusion of the cranial sutures most commonly involves a single suture. Less commonly, multiple sutures may fuse prematurely resulting in complex craniosynostosis. The authors present 1 case of a patient with unilateral sagittal and unilateral lambdoid craniosynostosis treated safely simultaneous with spring-mediated cranioplasty and distraction osteogenesis.
