DOI: 10.1007/s00381-021-05318-1
Abstract: In the late 1980s, craniofacial surgery units reported suboptimal cosmetic results, cranial volume restriction, and intracranial hypertension after anterior cranial vault remodeling in bilateral coronal synostosis associated with severe brachyturricephaly. A possible explanation was a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11548-020-02301-0
Abstract: Surgical correction of metopic craniosynostosis typically involves open cranial vault remodeling. Accurate translation of the virtual surgical plan into the operating room is challenging due to the lack of tools for intraoperative analysis of the… read more here.

Craniosynostosis: Posterior Cranial Vault Remodeling.
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Clinics in plastic surgery"
DOI: 10.1016/j.cps.2021.03.001
Abstract: Posterior cranial vault distraction osteogenesis is a powerful, reliable, low-morbidity method to achieve intracranial expansion. It is particularly useful in treating turribrachycephaly seen in syndromic craniosynostosis, allowing for gradual expansion of the bone while stretching… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/02688697.2021.1902477
Abstract: AIM Primary paragangliomas (PGs) are extra-adrenal neuroendocrine tumours that are extremely rare. Multiple lesions in the central nervous system raise suspicion of a metastatic process. Lack of consensus on their management warrants the categorization of… read more here.
