| Popis: | Background The goal of this study is to analyze the safety of reconstructive surgeries for Crouzon syndrome, and to understand the deformities and complications related to the surgical procedure. Methods Thirty-nine subjects underwent preoperative computed tomographic scans were included (Crouzon, n = 19; controls, n = 20) in this study. Craniofacial cephalometric measurements were analyzed by Materialise software. Results The overall average distance from the pterygoid junction to the coronal plane in the patients with Crouzon syndrome was 21.34 mm (standard deviation [SD] 5.13), which was deeper than that in the controls by 35% (P = 0.000).The overall average distances between the left and right foramen ovale and pterion on the sphenoid bone in the subjects were 64.93 mm (SD 7.56) and 67.83 mm (SD 8.57), which were increased by 13% (P = 0.001) and 14% (P = 0.001) compared with those in the controls.The overall distances between the most inferior point of the left and right lateral pterygoid plate and the medial pterygoid plate in the subjects were 51.09 mm (SD 6.68) and 51.51 mm (SD 10.98), which was not statically different from the controls (P = 0.887, P = 0.991, respectively). Conclusions This study characterized the surgically relevant anatomy of the sphenoidal bone. The pterygomaxillary junction is located in the posterior of the skull. Though there are some anatomical differences due to age, it is well known that the cranial cavity of the sphenoid side is likely to be enlarged in Crouzon syndrome, which may contribute to the other complications of the disease. |
