Metopic Craniosynostosis

Abstract BACKGROUND Minimal invasive suturectomy is one of the many surgical approaches to treat isolated single suture craniosynostosis. This approach can be technically challenging in metopic craniosynostosis given the narrow corridor and steep angle of the forehead. New instruments such as the Piezosurgery device (Mectron) have the potential to improve the ability to safely perform minimal invasive surgery in metopic craniosynostosis. OBJECTIVE To demonstrate the safety and efficacy of Piezosurgery technology in minimal invasive suturectomy for nonsyndromic metopic suture craniosynostosis and to describe our technique. METHODS A retrospective chart review was performed of all the single metopic suturectomies performed at our single institution from March 2018 to November 2019. Pre-, intra-, and postoperative data were collected to assess the safety of Piezosurgery. RESULTS The cohort consisted of 12 patients with an average of 95.25 d old and an average weight of 6.2 kg. A total of 91.7% were male, and 91.7% were Caucasian. There were no intraoperative or postoperative Piezosurgery device-related complications in the entire cohort. CONCLUSION The use of the Piezosurgery instrument was safe in this cohort of minimal invasive metopic suturectomy. This device has greatly increased the ease of this procedure in our hands.

Background: Cranial sutures are syndesmosis between the cranial bones. The coronal suture is oblique in direction and extends between the frontal and the parietal bones. Craniosynostosis is a rare birth defect that occurs when the coronal suture in the skull fuses prematurely, but the brain continues to grow and develop. This leads to a misshapen head. There are a number of forms of this defect, such as coronal, sagittal, lambdoid, and metopic. Materials and Methods: Total 500 skulls were used for study, coronal suture length measured by thread method, distance between Nasion to bregma and midsupraorbital rim to coronal suture were measured. For finding skull with absence of coronal, sagittal, lambdoid, and metopic suture, we examined many skulls during routine osteology classes of Medical, Dental and other medical sciences students. Around 500 skull observed and we find only one skull with absence of left coronal suture completely. Results: The length of coronal suture was 24.8+1.4cm length, the distance between nasion to bregma was 126.7 +10.25 mm and Midsupraorbital rim to cranial suture was 102.76+8.64mm We have found only one skull with absence of coronal suture. Some of the skulls shows partly fusion of sagittal, coronal sutures. The skull with complete absence of coronal suture showing the features of other sutures clearly and right side of coronal suture is showing the complete suture. The skull was not damaged and it is in perfect condition which was using by students for their osteology study. Conclusion: We found the skull with absence of left coronal suture, which may resulted due to craniosynostosis. It may be due to hot climate in India also might be resulted for absence of suture. KEY WORDS: Birth defect, Skull, Coronal suture, Craniosynostosis.

New Mutations

Apert syndrome results almost exclusively from one of two point mutations (Ser252Trp or Pro253Arg) in fibroblast growth factor receptor 2. Most patients with Apert syndrome have this as an autosomal dominant abnormality. The majority of cases are sporadic, resulting from new mutations. Although there have been some descriptions of familial Apert syndrome, we could find only one previous description in the English literature about twinning in Apert syndrome. This report demonstrates monozygotic twins affected by Apert syndrome with both boys having the Ser252Trp mutation. Although the general constellation of clinical findings was characteristic for Apert syndrome, this case report is unique since the twins had different craniofacial and hand features. One of our twins had a metopic synostosis while Apert syndrome is often characterized by the large metopic suture that closes much later when compared to normal children.
