Abstract

Procedures for relief of coronal synostosis and metopic synostosis have resulted in some undesirable sequelae. The authors present combined neurological and plastic surgical modifications to prevent additional synostoses, forehead ridging, and lateral orbital wall step-off. They recommend bifrontal craniotomy with lateral wall osteotomy into the body of the zygoma and self-retaining grafts.
