OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: The objective of this study was to review the outcomes of @entity91 management. We hypothesized that differential treatment of @entity91 based on age at correction and degree of severity yields consistently satisfying results while reducing the operative morbidity. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective @entity1 record review. METHODS: Three cranial vault-remodeling procedures with varying levels of @entity146 (limited-access, partial, and @entity949 ) were performed on @entity1 with @entity91 from 1995 to 2010. More-aggressive procedures were performed on older @entity1 and @entity1 having more-severe @entity85 . @entity1 records were reviewed for age, weight, @entity190 , and length of hospital stay, and cephalic indices (CIs) were calculated from computed tomography scans and clinical photographs. RESULTS: Fifty-one @entity1 underwent surgery for @entity91 during the study period. The average estimated blood volume fraction lost was 0.41. The average length of hospital stay was 4.49 days. Pre- and postoperative CIs were calculable for 36 @entity1 . The average preoperative CI was 68.7. The average postoperative CI was 79.3, for an average operative change of 15%. The three procedures had statistically different values for average length of stay. A trend was suggested for estimated @entity190 and volume fraction lost. There was no statistically significant difference in CI outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: This study supports the concept of a proportionate response in the management of @entity91 . Less-aggressive procedures do not yield less-desirable results when properly selected to match the clinical situation of the individual @entity1 .
