This paper presents a prospective longitudinal outcome study on @entity1 with @entity91 who were treated with the contemporary craniofacial surgical techniques of suture release, cranial decompression, and cranial and orbital reconstruction and reshaping in infancy. Diagnosis, surgical treatment, and long-term results and complications are reviewed. Preoperative and long-term postoperative intracranial volumes in these @entity1 were evaluated and compared with age and gender match controls throughout the period of the study. From July 1, 1990, to July 1, 1994, 25 @entity1 with isolated @entity91 underwent @entity85 . Eight @entity1 were excluded from the study based on incomplete postoperative computed tomography (CT) records. Of the 17 @entity1 with long-term computerized records, 11 were @entity1 and 6 were @entity1 . The @entity91 @entity1 in this study include six with bilateral @entity6792 , six with unilateral @entity6792 , four with @entity91 , and one with @entity12018 . The average age at the time of surgery for all @entity1 was 9 months, and the average age at the time of the latest follow-up CT scan for all @entity1 in the study was 3.5 years. There were no perioperative complications in this series of @entity1 including no @entity548 , no @entity281 , no wound healing complications, and no mortality. Bony fixation included a combination of wire osteosynthesis and rigid microfixation. All @entity1 had only one surgical procedure for the correction of their deformity. Evaluation of both preoperative and long-term postoperative intracranial volume measurements in this series of @entity1 revealed that these volume measurements were comparable with the gender match control groups at all ages throughout the study. The significance of these findings for this longitudinal outcome study is discussed.
