Background:Endoscopic strip craniectomy with postoperative helmeting (ESCH) for unicoronal synostosis has shown to be a less morbid procedure when compared with fronto-orbital remodeling (FOR). We aim in this pilot study to report objective methods and quantitative morphologic outcomes of endoscopically treated unicoronal synostosis using 3-dimensional surface scans.Methods:Our electronic records were reviewed for ophthalmological, neurodevelopmental outcomes, and helmet-related complications. For morphologic outcomes, the following parameters were used: Cranial Index, Cranial Vault Asymmetry Index, Anterior Symmetry Ratio (ASR), and Root Mean Square between the normal and synostotic sides of the head. Three-dimensional stereophotogrammetry scans were evaluated at 3 time points preoperative, 6 months post-op, and at the end of the treatment, which was compared with age-matched scans of normal controls and FOR patients. Nonparametric tests were used for statistical analysis.Results:None of the ESCH cases developed strabismus, major neurodevelopmental delay, or helmet complications. All morphologic parameters improved significantly at 6 months post-op except for the Cranial Vault Asymmetry Index. The ASR was the only parameter to change significantly between 6 months post-op and final scans. At end of helmet treatment, ASR and Root Mean Square differed significantly between the ESCH and both FOR and control groups.Conclusions:Endoscopic strip craniectomy with postoperative helmeting for single unicoronal synostosis had excellent clinical outcomes. Most of the improvement in head morphology occurred in the first 6 months of treatment. Despite the normalization of the overall head shape, there was residual asymmetry in the frontal and temporal regions of the head.
