Fronto-orbital
Remodeling
In some conditions the brow and frontal bone require remodeling
rather than symmetric advancement. Here in a child with left unicoronal
synostosis, the central bone is in an acceptable position but the
bone laterally over the eye sockets requires advancement.
The removed bone is remodeled on a side table and repositioned.
The brain is frequently compressed beneath the constricted lateral
bone thinning it and leaving an impression of the brain surface
internally. The lateral advancement of bone relives this brain compression
and gives an aesthetically pleasing look to the forehead region.
