Facial Surgery Guide

Craniofacial surgery deals mainly with congenital malformations. These craniosynostosis craniosynostosis or skull where the sutures are prematurely fused, causing cranial deformation (oxycephala, trigonocephaly, brachycephaly, plagiocephaly), and facio-craniosynostosis with facial retrusion and exorbitism (Apert syndrome, Apert, Pfeiffer, Saethre -Chotzen). Osteotomies to allow the deformed elements in a good position, but the facial distraction and distraction piece are often used in these cases.

Since 1992, the placement of children in the back having been recommended by pediatricians between 0 and 6 months to reduce the risk of sudden death, the incidence of deformities of the back of the skull is constantly increasing. These mechanical deformations are not craniosynostosis and can be prevented by a nursing child adjustment.

Another group of craniofacial malformations is represented by the facial clefts with hypertelorism, Franceschetti’s disease / Treacher Collins, and encephalocele.
A reconciliation of orbital orbits mobilization, or partition, which is used to correct the hypertelorism. It is associated anomalies often nasal and eyelid colobomas.

Progressive craniofacial abnormalities such as orbital neurofibromas (Recklinghausen) and fibrous dysplasia require complex treatments.

Craniofacial surgery for trauma orbitocraniens intervenes and corrects the traumatic sequence, fractures and malar ethmoïdiennes in particular.
