Abstract

Introduction

Trigonocephaly secondary to the premature fusion of the metopic synostosis is associated to a risk of cerebral compression and several craniofacial morphological alterations. Numerous surgical techniques have been proposed. They all carry a risk of secondary temporal hollowing

Purpose

The aim of this paper is to describe the surgical technique used for trigonocephaly at the craniofacial unit of Hopital Necker Enfants Malades (French National Referral Center for Faciocraniosynostosis) focusing on its advantages and limitations. Resorbable osteosynthesis should be part of the current techniques.
