[Fronto-cranial remodeling for craniostenosis with mobilisation of the supra-orbital barr (author's transl)].
33 cases of fronto-cranial remodeling by osteotomies are reported by the authors. Since 1973, 19 oxycephalies have been operated according to an original technique based on two principles:--rocking and advancement of the supra-orbital barr, with an easy lateral retention by a Z-bony cut.--transposition of free bone flaps to rebuild a forehead of the appropriate curvature. The good results obtained have encouraged the authors to operate on young children or even babies in order to solve simultaneously the functionnal and the aesthetic problems. Three plagiocephalies, two trigonocephalies have thus been treated, as well as 5 facio-craniostenosis for whom a 2 cm forehead advancement has been done, the following results being very encouraging.
