Résumé

Unilateral coronal synostosis (UCS) is a complex craniosynostosis, combining malformations of the upper (frontal bone, orbito-naso-frontal bandeau (ONFB) ) and the middle thirds of the face. In our centre, the surgical correction consists in the repositioning of the ONFB in front of the zygomaticofrontal suture on the affected side. Defects in the corrections have been observed post-operatively for some patients with a persistent asymmetry in the side walls of the orbits. The purposes of our study were to perform an analysis of the frontal process of zygoma (FPZ) in children affected by UCS using preoperative CT-scans and to consider the modification of surgical techniques in order to achieve a better ONFB repositioning and thus, better symmetry.
