Presentation
Left frontal bone asymmetry with flattening of the frontal region and right orbital dystopia.
Patient Data
Note: This case has been tagged as "legacy" as it no longer meets image preparation and/or other case publication guidelines.
Fusion of the left coronal suture (fibrous bone bridges along the suture).
Depression of the ipsilateral fronto-orbital region (harlequin eye deformity).
Lack of pneumatization of the right mastoid air cells.
Case Discussion
Plagiocephaly is a common craniosynostosis that involves the early fusion of one or more skull plates, specifically the coronal suture.
CT scan confirms the clinical and radiological findings, and provides valuable information regarding the brain parenchyma. The extent of the fused suture with the maximum intensity projection (MIP) and volume rendering (VR) this 3D reconstructions provides more precise and careful treatment planning of patients.
