To compare outcomes, complications, and costs between endoscopic open surgical approaches in the management of craniosynostosis using a large national database. Retrospective cohort study. National Inpatient Sample database, including inpatient hospital discharge data from 2018 to 2021 across 48 states Washington, D.C. The present study included 1099 patients admitted with primary diagnosis craniosynostosis. Among them, 183 (16.6%) underwent surgery 916 (83.3%) surgery. Surgical...
Reliable planning, execution, and postoperative monitoring in microvascular free flap reconstruction are essential to optimize clinical outcomes. Artificial intelligence has demonstrated value several applications medicine surgery, including image analysis simulation, outcomes modeling, evaluation of large datasets. Within reconstruction, artificial been increasingly applied preoperative intraoperative decision making, monitoring. The present paper aims review salient each. authors conclude...
Introduction: This study describes the development and explores academic impact of a cleft craniofacial research fellowship. Materials Methods: Research career outcomes from 3 surgeons, 14 clinical fellows, 25 fellows between 2010 2023 were examined. Academic productivity was measured by number peer-reviewed publications indexed in PubMed podium presentations at national/international meetings. Residency match statistics recorded for eligible fellows. Results: Over this 14-year period (11...
Background: There have been few longitudinal studies assessing the effect of preoperative phenotypic severity on long-term esthetic outcomes in metopic craniosynostosis. This study evaluates relationship between and using interfrontal angle (IFA) CranioRate, a novel synostosis measure. Methods: Patients with craniosynostosis who underwent bifrontal orbital advancement remodeling 2012 2017 were reviewed. Preoperative computed tomography head scans analyzed for IFA machine learning algorithm...
Background: Fronto-orbital advancement and remodeling (FOAR) is a common surgical approach used for craniosynostosis conferring functional aesthetic benefit. There are few reports examining predisposing factors postoperative complications within the first year after surgery. This study aimed to establish complication rates identify risk inferior outcomes in large population of patients undergoing FOAR. Methods: All who underwent fronto-orbital from 2013-2022 at our institution were...
Background: Facial proportionality and symmetry are positively associated with perceived levels of facial attractiveness. Objective: The aims this study were to confirm extend the association attractiveness character traits determine differences in ratings between “anomalous” “typical” faces using a large dataset. Methods: Ratings 597 unique individuals from Chicago Face Database used. A formula was developed as proxy relative horizontal proportionality, where score “0” indicated perfect...
Aging leads to degeneration of the peripheral and central auditory systems, hearing loss, difficulty understanding sounds in noise. is also associated with changes susceptibility or recovery from damaging noise exposures, although effects interaction between acute exposure age on perception are not well studied. We tested these CBA/CaJ mouse model age-related loss using operant conditioning procedures before after longitudinally measured their sensitivity for detecting tones quiet...
Spring-mediated cranioplasty (SMC) is an increasingly utilized technique to treat patients with nonsyndromic sagittal craniosynostosis, but variables impacting outcomes are incompletely understood. The purpose of this study was determine most predictive following SMC, primarily changes in cephalic index (CI).Patients craniosynostosis undergoing SMC at our institution between 2014 and 2021 were included. Cephalic measured from patient computed tomography scans, x-rays, or by caliper-based...

Abstract Purpose We examined differences in long-term morphometric outcomes of spring-mediated cranioplasty (SMC) for various forms isolated nonsyndromic sagittal craniosynostosis. Methods A retrospective review was performed children who underwent SMC from 2011 to 2020 at the Children’s Hospital Philadelphia. Cephalic indices (CI), Whitaker grades, parietal bone thickness, and degree suture fusion were assessed. Frontal bossing vertex-nasion-opisthocranion (VNO) angles compared a normal...
A subset of patients with metopic craniosynostosis are noted to have elevated intracranial pressure (ICP). However, it is not known if the propensity for ICP influenced by severity cranial dysmorphology.Children nonsyndromic single-suture synostosis were prospectively enrolled and underwent optical coherence tomography measure optic nerve head morphology. Preoperative computed scans assessed endocranial bifrontal angle as well scaled score (MSS) morphology deviation determined CranioRate, an...
OBJECTIVE Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a debilitating neurological disease that commonly results from neurovascular compression of the trigeminal nerve (CN V). Although CN V has been extensively studied at site compression, many pathophysiological factors remain obscure. For example, thalamic-somatosensory function thought to be altered in TN, but abnormalities are inadequately characterized. Furthermore, there few studies using 7-T MRI examine patients with TN. The purpose present study was...
The authors' group characterized the cranio-maxillo-facial workforce 10 years ago, revealing high levels of career satisfaction but significant gender disparity. This study provides an updated profile international workforce.A 30-question electronic survey was distributed to 387 surgeons with membership in American Society Craniofacial Surgeons, Maxillofacial and Surgery. Questions related demographics, training background, practice setting, surgical volume, satisfaction, perceived...
Vision loss remains a debilitating complication of pituitary adenomas, although there is considerable variability in visual impairment before and after decompression surgery. Growing evidence suggests secondary damage to remote structures may contribute vision patients with chiasmatic compression. The present study leverages ultrahigh field 7-T MRI the retinotopic organization primary cortex (V1), correlates defects cortical thinning V1 characterize consequences adenomas on posterior system.
There has been a disproportionate increase in the incidence of young patients with squamous cell carcinoma oral tongue (SCCOT). The purpose this study was to compare older SCCOT without prior drinking or smoking history as population is poorly characterized literature.A retrospective review presenting our institution performed. clinical and pathologic characteristics, well as, outcomes were compared between younger (age ≤45) >45). Outcome analysis performed using Kaplan Meier method....
Cleft and craniofacial conditions often present with a variety of functional esthetic sequelae optimally treated by multidisciplinary approach. Diagnosis such pre- or postnatally may evoke parental uncertainty anxiety, an important primary consideration is the selection cleft team. Identifying optimal team be particularly for developing long-term relationships clinicians who will ideally work intimately family from diagnosis to adulthood. While families, parents, providers should consider...
