Sagittal synostectomy. Technical note.
A procedure for correction of scaphocephaly is described. It differs from strip craniectomy in that it provides early correction of the deformity by removing the protuberances at the bregma and at the occiput. The morbidity and mortality of this procedure is no greater than with the more standard linear craniectomy.
