SECONDARY CRANIOFACIAL MANAGEMENT FOLLOWING INITIAL CORRECTION OF NONSYNDROMIC CRANIOSYNOSTOSIS

After initial operations for nonsyndromic craniosynostosis, patients m ay present for secondary correction as a feature of staged treatment o f this condition or with problems that are sequelae of the initial con dition or operation, such as undercorrection, a relapse of the deformi ty, or an induced new deformity associated with surgical intervention. The authors seek to establish some strategies for the evaluation and treatment of these secondary problems and to present options for the p revention of some common late findings.
