    Abstract Background: Craniofacial asymmetry associated with unicoronal synostosis (UCS) may persist into the teenage years despite surgery in infancy. This study evaluated outcomes following a nasal monobloc procedure by mobilizing a united nasomaxillary and bilateral medial orbital segment of bone (nasal monobloc) to perform corrective translational and rotational movement for secondary correction of residual nasal-orbital asymmetry associated with UCS.
    Methods: A retrospective review of all UCS patients treated with nasal monobloc at our institution was performed. Demographic information was recorded, and pre- and postoperative 2D imaging was used for morphometric outcome analysis. Outcomes and complications were tabulated.
    Results: The study included 14 patients (5 males, 9 females; mean age 14.6 years; range 9.6 to 22.5 years; mean follow-up 70.6 months range 12 to 132 months). Ancillary procedures (scar revision, forehead/orbital contouring, MEDPOR® augmentation) were performed in all patients at the time of the nasal monobloc. One patient underwent a repeat procedure 6 years later following technique modification. Additionally, another patient experienced late overgrowth of the frontal sinus with forehead asymmetry. The morphometric analysis demonstrated significant (p < 0.05) pre-op to post-op improvements in naso-orbital asymmetry, as demonstrated by horizontal orbital aperture ratio (0.88 vs 0.99), midline to exocanthion ratio (0.91 vs 0.98), orbital index ratio (1.15 vs 1.01), and midline discrepancy (7.1 degrees vs 2.7 degrees).
    Conclusion: Nasal monobloc osteotomy provides a reasonable surgical treatment to improve both the nasal and orbital asymmetries associated with unicoronal synostosis, including frontal nasal deviation, basal nasal deviation, and orbital aperture asymmetry. It is important to note that confounding anatomic variables such as globe dystopia, strabismus, and scleral show may affect the perception of orbital symmetry.

    Abstract Pediatric craniofacial surgery performed in tertiary care centers by dedicated teams is associated with high levels of safety and low rates of mortality. However, catastrophic and life-threatening events may occur as a result of surgical management of these complex patients. This study reviewed the incidence and acute outcomes of catastrophic and critical events during craniofacial surgery at a single high-volume center.
    Methods: The data reviewed included the operative procedures of two senior craniofacial surgeons over an 18-year period at a tertiary care pediatric craniofacial center. Catastrophic or critical intraoperative events were defined as events requiring the activation of an emergency code during surgery. The operative details and acute outcomes were reviewed and analyzed.
    Results: This study reviewed 7214 procedures performed between January 2002 and January 2019. There were 2072 (29%) cases classified as major craniofacial procedures (transcranial, mixed trans-and-extracranial, or major extracranial facial osteotomies), and code events occurred in 14 cases (0.67%; one in 148 patients): venous air embolism (n = 4), cardiac complications (n = 3), major hemorrhage (n = 3), trigeminocardiac reflex (n = 2), acute intracranial hypertension (n = 1), and acute airway obstruction (n = 1). Two cases (14%) experienced a critical event that was anesthesia-related. Cardiac arrest requiring compressions and/or defibrillation was necessary for eight patients. There were no mortalities. Surgery was curtailed in seven cases and successfully completed in seven patients.
    Conclusions: Catastrophic life-threatening events during pediatric craniofacial surgery are, fortunately, rare. In our institution, experienced teams in the management of catastrophic and critical intraoperative events during major pediatric craniofacial procedures resulted in no mortalities.

    Abstract Background: Turribrachycephaly is a common feature in many syndromic and multisuture craniosynostoses and is traditionally treated with total cranial vault reshaping and fronto-orbital advancement. A staged approach with posterior cranial vault distraction as a primary procedure followed by anterior cranial vault reshaping has the advantage of reducing the vertical dimension of the skull in a controlled and gradual manner while expanding the cranial volume. The purpose of this study was to evaluate outcomes following posterior cranial vault expansion using distraction osteogenesis at a single tertiary pediatric center.
    Methods: This retrospective review included all cases of posterior cranial vault distraction at a single institution from 2008 to 2022 performed by one surgeon. Morphometric outcomes such as Turricephaly Index (TI) and posterior cranial volume (PCV) were assessed from pre- and postoperative computerized tomography scans for patients who underwent posterior cranial vault distraction as a primary first-stage operation. Clinical outcomes and complications were collated.
    Results: A total of 41 patients (25 females, 16 males; mean age 11 months) with syndromic craniosynostosis (n = 32) and nonsyndromic craniosynostosis (n = 9) were included. The main indication for posterior cranial vault distraction in this cohort was turricephaly (63%). The mean distraction distance was 25.9 mm and the mean decrease in TI was 18%. The estimated increase in PCV from distraction in this cohort was 19.7%. In this cohort of patients, 13 patients (32%) experienced complications but there were no mortalities.
    Conclusion: Posterior cranial vault distraction osteogenesis is an effective surgical procedure to increase intracranial volume and correct turricephaly in children with syndromic and nonsyndromic craniosynostosis. This procedure is considered a safe and effective first-stage cranial operation in children with syndromic craniosynostosis with increased intracranial pressure and or turricephaly.
