  • Title: Subcranial Midface Advancement in Patients with Syndromic Craniosynostosis.
    Author: Massenburg BB, Susarla SM, Kapadia HP, Hopper RA.
    Journal: Oral Maxillofac Surg Clin North Am; 2022 Aug; 34(3):467-475. PubMed ID: 35787822.
    Abstract:
    Patients with syndromic craniosynostosis can present with midface hypoplasia, abnormal facial ratios, and obstructive sleep apnea. These symptoms can all be improved with midface advancement, but it is essential to evaluate the specific morphologic characteristics of each patient's bony deficiencies before offering subcranial advancement. Midface hypoplasia in Crouzon syndrome is evenly distributed between the central and lateral midface and reliably corrected with Le Fort III distraction. In contrast, the midface hypoplasia in Apert/Pfeiffer syndromes occurs in both an axial and a sagittal plane, with significantly more nasomaxillary hypoplasia compared with the orbitozygomatic deficiency.
