Pre-emptive planning to optimize safety and outcome is a defining principle of pediatric craniofacial surgery, in which "procedures that come before" should enhance and not compromise procedures that are planned to follow.A technical modification of fronto-orbital advancement/remodeling in 2-stage hypertelorism surgery for craniofrontonasal dysplasia is presented, where orbital hypertelorism is accompanied by coronal craniosynostosis. Fronto-orbital advancement/remodeling undertaken by this approach preserves bone in the supero-lateral bandeau and provides optimal quality bone stock for the subsequent orbital box shift osteotomy. In this way the second procedure is protected and enhanced by optimal planning of the primary procedure, with potential benefits to safety, quality, and outcome of the final result.Congenital inverted conchal bowl is a rare deformity with unknown etiology. Its occurrence poses both functional and aesthetic difficulties for patients. We report 2 cases of congenital inverted conchal bowl deformity in an 8-year-old male and 17-year-old female. Both patients were first evaluated in a delayed fashion with concern for difficulty hearing, poor hygiene, and aesthetic concerns. Patient presentation, surgical management, and 6-month follow-up results are presented. Both patients had improved functional and aesthetic outcome after surgical correction.
During the last 3 decades, the incidence of positional plagiocephaly and brachycephaly has increased. Treatment options are conservative and can include physiotherapy and molding helmet therapy. The decision to start therapy is based on patient history and subjective assessment of cranial shape by the physician and the parents. To determine the impact of these deformations on esthetic self-worth, as well as cranial shape, this study was conducted on a population of adult bald men.Participants were asked to fill in a questionnaire about the amount of comments received on cranial shape, as well as grade their general esthetic and grade craniofacial features using a visual analogue scale. this website The cranial proportions and symmetry were measured using plagiocephalometry.50 adult bald men were included in this study. The prevalence of nonsynostotic plagiocephaly was 12%; the prevalence of nonsynostotic brachycephaly was 0%. No significant correlation was found between plagiocephaly or brachycephaly, cranial circumfereoverall appearance or cranial shape in bald men. For bald men, eyes and teeth are more important craniofacial features in cosmetic assessment. There is no clear esthetic need to treat deviating cranial shape with helmet therapy in male patients.
The authors reported 2 cases with proximal anterior cerebral artery (A1) aneurysms, and one was treated with aneurysm clipping, whereas another was treated with coil embolization. The authors suggest both endovascular surgery and aneurysm clipping are good options for A1 aneurysms.

Physical examination also revealed hemifacial microsomia and bilateral auricular appendages. Medical history included heart, hearing, and neurologic problems. Excision biopsy of these lesions showed nodular proliferations of adipose tissue, which corresponded to the diagnosis of dermolipomas in the setting of Goldenhar syndrome. Complete examination for other first and second branchial arch anomalies is warranted in patients presenting with such lesions.
Protruding ears are a common occurrence and can affect the aesthetics and psychosocial aspects of patients. Hundreds of procedures have been described over the years to correct the 2 main deformities related to protruding ears conchal hypertrophy and anti-helical fold absence.For the rasping technique, the rasp is inserted posteriorly, from the side where the skin is excised;The ending part of the forceps looks like a small rasp, it worked very well and the surgery was completed without problemsThe authors think this tip could be a useful "tool" for all the surgeons used to perform cartilage rasping "in case of necessity" when rasp is not available.

Orbital fractures pose specific challenge in its surgical management. One of the greatest challenges is to obtain satisfactory restoration of normal orbital volume and globe projection following traumatic injury, due to the inability of the surgeon to gain adequate visibility and to verify proper implant position and placement during the operation. Surgical navigation is a very helpful tool when dealing with the reconstruction of such orbital fractures. During the training of the craniofacial fellowship learning to recognize the orbital floor boundaries is essential for the correct implant placement for reconstruction, their identification is a critical step, which may be assisted by intraoperative virtual navigation. Six patients were surgically treated for orbital floor fracture with intraoperative virtual navigation. The clinical evaluation showed no complications such as enophtalmos, exophtalmos or dystopia in all the patients 2 months post operatively and a correct implant/graft position.During surgeryrgeon's fellow, but for all the orbital surgeons.
