To analyse the deformations affecting the facial skeleton as a consequence of craniosynostosis in isolated brachycephaly, we performed a 3D vestibular orientation of a series of 41 CT scans acquired from 25 cases of brachycephaly using the 3DSlicer application....
✦ Clinical Takeaway ✦
No actionable change for audiologists; this is a craniofacial anatomy study with no direct hearing or vestibular rehabilitation implications at this stage.
✦ Why It Matters ✦
Understanding facial skeleton distortion in craniosynostosis is relevant to multidisciplinary surgical planning teams that may include audiologists managing associated conductive hearing loss.
✦ Key Points ✦
- 013D vestibular orientation analysis was used as an anatomical reference to measure skull and facial bone displacement.
