| Popis: | PURPOSE How different from "normal" are the cranial base and vault of infants with nonsyndromic, single-suture sagittal synostosis (NSSS)? This study quantitatively addresses this question utilizing computed tomography (CT) analytic technology. METHOD Head CT scans of infants with NSSS and normocephalic controls were analyzed using Mimics to calculate craniometric angles, distances, and segmented volumes. Craniometric measurements and asymmetry indices were compared between NSSS and control groups using linear regressions controlling for age. Ratios of anterior-, middle-, and posterior-to-total cranial vault volume were compared between groups using beta regressions controlling for age. RESULTS Seventeen patients with NSSS and 19 controls were identified. Cranial index and interoccipital angle were significantly smaller in NSSS compared with controls (P = 0.003 and |
