Plagiocephaly (oblique skull) is premature fusion of one of the coronal
sutures. Frontal
plagiocephaly is a rare congenital
deformity in the skull that is the most complicated form of
craniosynostosis to treat. Examination of all
sutures is necessary for diagnosis of
craniosynostosis In this article, a 10-month-old, healthy girl with
deformity of the right forehead and orbit that is caused by frontal
plagiocephaly and coronal unilateral
synostosis is presented. This abnormality was corrected by frontal
craniotomy and fronto-orbital complex advancement under
general anesthesia. An exact clinical and radiographic (Multislice CT scan with 3-dimensional three dimensional reconstruction) examination with the suitable time of surgery is necessary for diagnosis of skull abnormality and prevention of
treatment delay. Furthermore, 3D stereo-photo-grammetry is a radiation-free, non invasive method for evaluating the growth pattern of children in long term.
