title: Faciocraniosynostosis: from infancy to adulthood.
abstract: Faciocraniosynostosis patients require continuous care from early infancy to adolescence, the problem being first cranial, then facial, and finally facial harmony. In this lecture the author's personal experience with patients affected by Crouzon and Apert syndromes is described. Advantages and disadvantages of the different surgical procedures are described, and early and late results are discussed in terms of cosmetic and functional correction.
