Abstract
Several surgical options are available for treating the different types of craniosynostosis, including fronto-orbital advancement and remodeling, total or subtotal cranial vault remodeling, barrel stave osteotomy with cranial remodeling, endoscopic suturectomy, monobloc advancement and cranioplasty, and revision cranioplasty. High-resolution, low-dose CT with 3D reconstructed images and volumetric analysis can be useful for evaluating the craniofacial skeleton following surgery. The various types of craniosynostosis surgery and corresponding imaging findings are reviewed in this article.
