Objective: Cranioplasty is one of the oldest known neurosurgical procedure performed. Many materials have been used for cranioplasty since ages. Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) has become the workhorse for fabrication of cranial implants since World War II in cases where autologous bone is not available or cannot be harvested. The aim of the present study is to present author's experience in the management of cranioplasty using acrylic implants fabricated using 2 different techniques. Methods:...

Objective: Finding accurate locations for radiosurgical targets in trigeminal neuralgia (TN) remains challenging. This study provides a novel approach of image fusion used in locating radiosurgical targets for gamma knife surgery (GKS) in the treatment of TN. Methods: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans were performed before frame fixation, and computed tomography (CT) scans were performed following frame fixation. Fusion of the CT and MRI images was performed to locate the treatment target....

Background: The morphologic effect of squamosal synostosis has not been clarified, due to its low occurrence rate, and its inclination to be combined with premature closure of other major sutures, especially in syndromic synostosis. This study's goal is to explore the morphological influence of squamosal synostosis in both syndromic and nonsyndromic craniosynostosis patients. Methods: Twenty-five computed tomography (CT) scans from nonsyndromic squamosal synostosis (NSS), Crouzon syndrome...

The present study evaluated the surgical outcomes of intraconal cavernous venous malformation according to their location in 4 right-angled sectors. Data regarding the surgical method and approach, surgical outcome, and postoperative complications were retrospectively analyzed for 18 patients with intraconal cavernous venous malformations that were surgically treated at the authors' center between March 2006 and May 2017. The lesion location was defined using 2 perpendicular lines connecting the...

Background: Different autologous materials are recently used in the purpose of augmentation of the nasal dorsum. Despite the benefits and drawbacks, nasal reconstruction with autologous tissue remains a better method for excellent results and lower morbidity rates. Methods: The authors harvested conchal cartilage from the ears and use it after dicing. The superficial temporal fascia was harvested from the temporal region. Diced cartilage was wrapped with superficial temporal fascia, making...

Rhytidectomy is a complicated surgery. Less experienced surgeons are often confronted with technical challenges. To simplify the procedure and achieve long-lasting effects, the authors propose a modified rhytidectomy method, reorder surgical sequences and suggest a stepped lift of the superficial musculoaponeurotic system. A total of 54 patients underwent this surgical procedure. Superficial musculoaponeurotic layers of the temple, face, and neck were dissected sequentially and suspended to lift...

Cleidocranial dysplasia is a rare autosomal-dominant condition that affects ossification. The main symptoms of this cleidocranial dysplasia patient include craniofacial abnormalities, hypoplasia of clavicles, narrow thorax, retarded exfoliation of deciduous teeth, retarded eruption of permanent teeth, and multiple impacted supernumerary teeth. The aim of this treatment was to correct the craniofacial abnormalities and provide an adequate functional reconstruction of the occlusion. The patient was...

Background: To compare the efficacies of botulinum toxin-A injection and dry needling methods in the treatment of patients with myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Methods: In this prospective study, 40 MPS patients (29 women, 11 men) were randomly assigned to abobotulinum toxin-A injection (Group 1, n = 20) or dry needling (Group 2, n = 20) groups. Pain, crepitation, functional limitation, maximum mouth opening, jaw strength were evaluated at baseline and...

Objective: This research aimed at exploring the measurement of anatomic parameters of internal carotid artery–ophthalmic artery (ICA-OA) and the clinical significance with 3-dimensional (3D) separating, fusing, opacifying, false-coloring, and volume rendering (SFOF-VR) technique. Methods: A total of 109 patients with no significant lesions in ICA-OA were randomly selected, including 56 males and 53 females, who were divided into 3 groups: young age group (18–40 years, n = 36), middle age...

This retrospective cohort study aimed to determine the impact of a nasoalveolar molding (NAM) protocol on midface growth in school-aged children with non-syndromic unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP). Data from 56 consecutively treated, NAM-prepared, Caucasian patients with non-syndromic UCLP from a single US cleft palate center were compared to pooled center data based on 56 patients with non-syndromic UCLP treated at 2 Eurocleft centers that did not use presurgical infant orthopedics (non-PSIO)....

Objective: The aim of this study is to assess the microstructural changes to the olfactory bulb (OB) in patients with nasal septum deviation (NSD) using diffusion tensor imaging and to research the association between these changes and the degree of NSD. Methods: Ninety-six patients with NSD (46 males, 50 females) who received diffusion tensor imaging were assessed by 2 independent readers. The patients were separated into 3 groups according to the NSD angle. The fractional anisotropy (FA)...

The 1960s and 1970s were an important time for craniofacial surgery because of the work of Paul Tessier and Hugo Obwegeser, both mentored by Sir Harold Gillies, along with many other important monumental minds. During this era, the birth of craniofacial surgery occurred and represented a new discrete specialty within plastic surgery. In the 1980s distraction of the facial skeleton became an indispensable tool in the arsenal of the craniofacial surgeon, based on initial cases in Italy, and rigorous...

Management of the midface has a central role to achieve harmony in the transgender patient requesting facial feminization surgery. The relative projection of separate areas of the craniofacial skeleton largely determines the appearance of the facial framework. In this article the authors describe the management of the midface; bony remodeling and soft tissue aspects, in the transgender patient.

A 43-year-old female diagnosed with meningioma was admitted to our department. Preoperative imaging revealed a spherical lesion located in the sphenoid ridge with obvious enhancement and inhomogeneous density into 3 layers on magnetic resonance (MR) images, coral-like vessel images inside the tumor was obtained after the raw computed tomography angiography data were imported into the Dextroscope virtual-reality system. Due to her progressive headache and visual deterioration, surgery was performed...
