    Author: Shen W, Cui J, Chen J, Weiping S.
    Journal: J Craniofac Surg; 2015 Mar; 26(2):516-7. PubMed ID: 25699533.
    Abstract:
    Patients with Apert syndrome have bilateral coronal craniosynostosis, along with a distinguishing feature of their many deformity, called tower skull. Surgical correction of this deformity is the mainstay of treatment. We describe 3 patients molded top skull after front bone osteotomy orbital bar advancement. This successfully restricted growth of their top skull while allowing growth in other dimensions. Utilization of top-skull molding after cranial surgery shows promise of satisfaction in this setting.
