| Popis: | Anterior plagiocephaly is a type of non-syndromic craniosynostosis requiring surgery. In this study, the authors have presented 15 neglected patients with anterior plagiocephaly. Two of patients had moderate plagiocephaly whereas others had mild plagiocephaly. A total of 38 procedures (fat injections) were performed on these patients. Following procedures, 2 of patients were under corrected, 2 of who were over corrected, and others were adequate corrected. One of the patients developed fat necrosis. None of them showed persistent over correction. Authors believe that autologous fat transplantation is a safe and effective method, in patients with anterior plagiocephaly who have not been operated, to improve patients' appearance and, subsequently, their self-esteem as well as their social function. |
