OBJECTIVE: Frontoorbital advancement (FOA) in @entity1 with @entity91 addresses the aesthetic and functional correction of the frontoorbital region. To help define the operative strategy and any follow-up assessments after surgical correction, objective parameters describing the critical regions of @entity85 are essential. Based on 3D morphometric analysis, new parameters for the documentation of changes of the frontoorbital bandeau were developed in a prospective study. METHODS AND MATERIALS: In a prospective series, 13 @entity1 with @entity91 (seven metopic, four unilateral coronal, and two bilateral coronal) treated with frontoorbital advancement, underwent detailed morphometric and volumetric evaluation using a 3D light optical scan system (3D-Shape, Erlangen, Germany). Measurements were obtained preoperatively and at 3, 6 and 12 months postoperatively with newly developed parameters generated by cephalometric analysis software (Onyx Ceph, Image Instruments, Chemnitz, Germany). RESULTS: In most @entity1 , frontoorbital advancement resulted in stable long-term results without growth inhibition and with normalization or improvement of ongoing skull development. The mean frontal angle was 145   and the frontoparietal angle 137-140  . The cephalic index was normalized or markedly improved. Head circumference and head height increased significantly (p  =  0.001 and p  =  0.002, respectively). These changes were confirmed in all postoperative measurements. CONCLUSION: During the 12-month follow-up period all angle parameters proved to be stable and no major @entity851 was observed after FOA. The frontoorbital angle is a useful parameter in evaluating long-term outcome. The frontoparietal angle is important for the stability of the frontoparietal region, in which a certain growth inhibition may be observed postoperatively.
