Abstract
Although osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is recognized as a cause of craniosynostosis, therapeutic endeavors have not been reported. We present an 8-month-old girl with type 3 OI, in whom bilateral occipital flattening, biparietal widening, and frontal narrowing were effectively managed with a combined surgical release and reconstruction and molding cap therapy. The quality of the calvarial bone in OI requires a modified approach to the conventional bone techniques commonly used in the correction of craniosynostosis deformities.
