- Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study is to monitor the cranial parameters of patients with sagittal craniosynostosis. We will mainly focus on the differences between endoscopic and open-surgical treatment and their influence on changes in cranial parameters in patients with craniosynostosis of the sagittal suture. Craniosynostosis has various consequences, including reduced self-confidence and problems fitting in among other children due to craniofacial deformity. Therefore, monitoring aesthetic results of craniosynostosis treatment in pediatric patients is important. Patients and Methods: The sample of patients included in this study comes from patients monitored by the neurosurgeon at the Department of Paediatric Neurosurgery of the National Institute of Child Diseases in Bratislava, Slovakia. Standardized anthropometric methods and tools to monitor cranial dimensions were used. Results: In our study, we noted no differences in aesthetic results between open and endoscopic surgical treatment. However, surgical treatment, regardless of the type of chosen treatment, produced the desired aesthetic results, and these results improved over time. Conclusion: The benefit of the work will be the longitudinal monitoring of the growth of children's cranium, and the evaluation of the effectiveness of surgical treatment in patients with neurocranial growth disorders and the prevention of late consequences of growth disorders.
