Fronto-Supraorbital Advancement& Fronto-Orbital Advancement Surgery

Fronto-orbital dysmorphology in nonsyndromic bilateral coronal synostosis includes frontal flattening, supraorbital recession, and ocular globe protrusion. Surgical advancement of the supraorbital region ("bandeau") is performed to correct these deformities. bilateral coronal synostosis was performed to assess the effect of two types of bandeau fixation at the nasion. The surgical goals of FOA are threefold:

Ø  To release the synostosed suture and decompress the cranial vault,

Ø  To reshape the cranial vault and advance the frontal bone, and

Ø  To advance the retruded supraorbital bar, providing improved globe protection and an improved aesthetic appearance.
