  • Title: Three-dimensional cranial expansion using distraction osteogenesis for oxycephaly.
    Author: Uemura T, Hayashi T, Satoh K, Mitsukawa N, Yoshikawa A, Suse T, Furukawa Y.
    Journal: J Craniofac Surg; 2003 Jan; 14(1):29-36. PubMed ID: 12544217.
    Abstract:
    Oxycephaly is associated with raised intracranial pressure as a result of the fusion of multiple cranial sutures. We have performed an effective and less invasive cranial expansion by means of three-dimensional cranial distraction for the treatment of oxycephaly with suspicion of increased intracranial pressure. We describe two oxycephaly cases and the surgical technique of three-dimensional cranial expansion using distraction osteogenesis.
