“…Helmets are one of the treatment modalities for posterior positional plagiocephaly. Helmet therapy has been shown to modify the shape of the face and zygomatic bones (Lee et al 2015;Lim et al 2016) and contribute to correct the facial asymmetry associated with posterior plagiocephaly. Nevertheless, most of the helmets available for clinical use directly compress the zygomatic arch and the lateral aspect of the zygomatic bones (Lee et al 2015), and this direct compression most probably accounts for the reported changes in facial bone structure.…”

Intentional cranial deformations (ICD) were obtained by exerting external mechanical constraints on the skull vault during the first years of life to permanently modify head shape. The repercussions of ICD on the face are not well described in the midfacial region. Here we assessed the shape of the zygomatic bone in different types of ICDs. We considered 14 non-deformed skulls, 19 skulls with antero-posterior deformation, nine skulls with circumferential deformation and seven skulls with Toulouse deformation. The shape of the zygomatic bone was assessed using a statistical shape model after mesh registration. Euclidian distances between mean models and Mahalanobis distances after canonical variate analysis were computed. Classification accuracy was computed using a cross-validation approach. Different ICDs cause specific zygomatic shape modifications corresponding to different degrees of retrusion but the shape of the zygomatic bone alone is not a sufficient parameter for classifying populations into ICD groups defined by deformation types. We illustrate the fact that external mechanical constraints on the skull vault influence midfacial growth. ICDs are a model for the study of the influence of epigenetic factors on craniofacial growth and can help to understand the facial effects of congenital skull malformations such as single or multi-suture synostoses, or of external orthopedic devices such as helmets used to correct deformational plagiocephaly.

Infantile cranial fasciitis: case-based review and operative technique

et al. 2017

CF is a rare fibroproliferative disease that has a poorly defined incidence and long-term follow-up. Due to its locally invasive nature and nonspecific presentation, CF is often difficult to differentiate from malignancies and infections. Complete surgical resection is the best approach for diagnosis and cure. Its occult clinical presentation often allows it to achieve considerable growth, leaving a sizeable skull defect following resection. Since CF presents in the pediatric population, allograft reconstruction is preferred over titanium mesh or other synthetic materials to allow osseous integration and continued uninterrupted skull growth.
