Abstract: BACKGROUND Bilateral lambdoid and posterior sagittal synostosis (BLSS), is a rarely encountered multisutural craniosynostosis accounting for 0,3%-0,7% of all craniosynostoses. It has been named "Mercedes Benz Syndrome (MBS)" because of the bone ridges that resemble… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/neuros/nyx209
Abstract: BACKGROUND Neurosurgical techniques for repair of sagittal synostosis include total cranial vault (TCV) reconstruction, open sagittal strip (OSS) craniectomy, and endoscopic strip (ES) craniectomy. OBJECTIVE To evaluate outcomes and cost associated with these 3 techniques.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/prs.0000000000009143
Abstract: Background: It is important to determine whether sagittal synostosis–associated scaphocephaly is static in the presurgical period, or whether there are morphologic differences with time to include in surgical decision-making. The authors’ purpose was to perform… read more here.
