[Role of three dimensional spiral CT in the evaluation of craniofacial abnormalities in pediatric patients].
Technological advances in computer image analysis have made possible three-dimensional surface reformations of anatomic structures from contiguous axial CT silices. Three-dimensional spiral CT is a relatively new method and it is very useful in the diagnosis and management of craniofacial abnormalities. The purpose of this pictorial review is to assess the role of three-dimensional spiral CT in the evaluation of craniofacial abnormalities including craniosynostosis, hypertelorism, frontonasal dysplasia, hypoplasia of mandible, encephalocele and trauma in paediatric patients.
