Abstract

Introduction

For 35 years, we have a tight neuro-plastic surgical cooperation for the surgical correction and long-term systematic follow-up of 125 cases of unicoronal synostotic plagiocephaly.

Methods

We have tried to understand why some patients had kept an asymmetrical facial growth pattern in spite of a good fronto orbital correction. Analysis in vestibular orientation which was available from 1993 has demonstrated a discrepancy between the ocular and the vestibular verticality referential system. So we have designed a surgical procedure to try to fix that problem.

Results and Conclusion

Preliminary results in 27 cases operated according to this procedure, for which we have pre- and post-CT scan demonstrate significative improvements of our results.
