abstract
Trigonocephaly results from a premature ossification of the metopic suture. Inhibited lateral growth of the frontal bones leads to the typical wedge shaped forehead and bilateral supra orbital retrusion, which is combined with a mild hypotelorism . The volumetric restrictions can be corrected by per...
forming a fronto-supra-orbital advancement.This cranioplasty is thought to be indicated before the age of 12 months in order to prevent permanent developmental restrictions due to the restricted intracranial volume.
